Circue Du Soleil

Dance began as a form of communication and storytelling. Thousands of years ago dancing served as a way for people to tell a story and helped distract themselves of the hardships they faced. Furthermore, dance was a form of storytelling through communication, which then turned into using storytelling through dance as entertainment. According to the History World, many dancers during the BC time danced in front of only a few people to get a story across. That later turned into hundreds of thousands of people as dance was used by many. Today, dance is also a form of entertainment and storytelling, but in a modern sense. However, today perfection and technique are stressed more than they were in the past. Yet, the passion for dance has not changed. Many dancers who share this passion also have many of the same qualities. Among a discourse community of trained dancers, one expects to find individuals who are healthy and active athletes, expect perfection from themselves through competition, and religiously attend dance performances.

A review of the world’s great artists conjures familiar images: Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel; Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night; Pablo Picasso’s The Tragedy. There are many more, of course: Monet, Moya, Warhol, Rembrandt, Kandinsky. What is immediately noticeable, however, upon any brief study of art, is the significant absence of women as heralded artists—not only in our ancient pasts, but even today, amongst valiant efforts for gender equality.

Outside of medicine, I spend my leisure time dancing and choreographing. My love for dance and music stems from my early childhood. I recall listening to Disney songs and “choreographing” dance moves – moves that appeared as uncoordinated, but exquisite loose wiggles. As a result of my parents’ high expectations and strict upbringing, dance was an important activity because it served as a safe haven away from the stress and pressure I felt as a child. Dancing was, and is still, my source of joy and amusement.

I drew inspiration from the creative indigenous cultures and the drama of the scenery. I painted many impressionist works of art during our travels. On our journey back we traveled through Santa Fe. On this journey I made contact with the artist community within the Museum of Mexico.

After expo 67 came the October crisis, which consisted of Quebec citizens creating separatist groups and making open kidnappings and bombs, furthermore disrupting the peace. Chretien, from the province of Quebec, was determined to bring the people together, so he ran an almost flawless campaign and “recaptured his old riding of St-Maurice and managed to win 19 seats in Québec in the face of the onslaught of the Bloc Québécois” (Bothwell, Koch, & Marshall, 2015). Another cause of his election into parliament that was more of a national event, was the concern of the people in terms of Liberals spending excessive amounts of money when brought into power. Because of this concern, it was up to Chretien to ease the public and ensure that he “effectively answered criticisms that he would mark a return to the spending extravagances of previous Liberal governments” (Bothwell, Koch, & Marshall, 2015). As a result, Chretien was elected in to power, and decided upon making many budget cuts and re-establishing the Canadian economy and debt in order to prove to the people that he was not about going against his word and spending large amounts of money on projects that were unneeded. This is one of the more prominent points of cause and consequence during his election into parliament, the cause being the people

Bella does have some activities she would like to do such as taking a long road trip around Italy and France. Also, she is interested in learning how to speak French fluently because right now the only language she can speak fluently is the English language. If she could live somewhere of her choice she said France.

Thank you for listening, I hope you enjoyed this interview as much as I

Luna silenced for a moment and thought, “For an artist I pick Li-Ona. Would it not be for her artistic talent in camouflaging people’s faces and bodies into the impossible and unbelievable, many visionary talents would be without a job.”

It is Saturday, November 14, 2015 at Mesa, Arizona. A large crowd occupies large spaces all over downtown attending different stages of the first Mesa Musical Festival. Facing the Automotive Callahan Stage at Il Vinaio Restaurant, and only moments after a Rock 'n Roll band finish its performance, the place begins to fill with a public made up of many familiar faces.

Six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen people in total with a lot of musical instruments: keyboards, drums, congas, trumpet, bass, guitars, maracas, cuatro. The music starts, and immediately the public begin jumping, singing,

At the bottom of the stairs, she turned to the left and went nearly to the end of a long, stone hallway, small rooms dug into the walls. She walked into the living quarters of her family and smiled.
