SEATTLE, WA - Pacific Northwest Ballet's Swan Lake, choreographed by Founding Artistic Director Kent Stowell, returns to the McCaw Hall stage as the fifth offering of PNB's 2014-15 season. This beloved story ballet, revered by audiences and dancers alike, is classical ballet at its very best. Sumptuous scenery, costumes, and lighting, and an achingly beautiful Tchaikovsky score, set the stage for the ethereal corps de ballet and the ultimate challenge for ballerinas all over the world—the dual role of Odette, trapped in the body of a white swan until the oath of her true love sets her free; and Odile, the “Black Swan” temptress. With an added performance on opening weekend, Swan Lake runs for nine performances only, from April 10 through 19 at Seattle Center's Marion Oliver McCaw Hall. Tickets start at $30. For more information, contact the PNB Box Office at 206.441.2424, in person at 301 Mercer Street, or online at PNB.org.

Far and away the highlight on opening night of the Pacific Northwest Ballet's five-day return engagement at NYC's Joyce on October 8th 2014 was the soul-stirring and remarkably supple performance by Carla Korbes. The ballerina, who will retire at the end of the 2014-2015 season, is a mere 33 years old. Watching her dance with Jerome Tisserand in a preview of Justin Peck's "Debonair" to an alternately playful and poignant score by George Anthell was pure delight. The ballet is slated to premiere next month in Seattle and served as the closer for the NYC triple bill.

Ellen Gaffney didn't always have plans to become a self-published author. Following her involvement with Free Wheelchair Mission (FWM), she was inspired to share the story of Lotus Blossom, the recipient of one of the first FWM wheelchairs. Following years of dedicated work, her children's book was self-published with the help of Three Bean Press in November 2013.
'Wings for a Flower' is a 32-page picture book based on the true story of Lotus Blossom, a young girl living in Chennai, India. Although written as children's literature, the book inspires an audience of all ages. 'The stories that emerge from our work here at Free Wheelchair Mission are incredibly powerful. We are excited about and honored by Ellen's labor of love. Her book ensures that the story of Lotus Blossom will be shared with an audience of all ages for many years to come,' said Reed Harley, Executive Director of FWM.
Gaffney describes the book's creation as a journey which began when her friend and Founder of FWM, Don Schoendorfer, shared with her the story of Lotus Blossom. Moved by the story, Gaffney resolved to convey the narrative in a children's book. She soon realized she wanted to meet the young woman in order to authentically capture the story. In March 2005, Gaffney traveled to India to participate in a seven-city distribution trip for FWM. During the trip, Gaffney was able to spend time with Lotus Blossom who, with the help of her wheelchair, has been given the confidence to learn to walk very short distances.
Gaffney decided to illustrate the story with collages, and using a variety of papers such as tissue paper, brown paper bags and catalogs, she ardently captured the colors and textures she'd witnessed in India. Her book is available for sale on her website with all proceeds benefitting the gift of mobility through FWM's work. Gaffney, a Pittsburgh, PA native, lives in the Greater Boston Area in the town of Brookline. Last week The Boston Globe published an article on Gaffney and her book.

Sie hat gerade wieder geheiratet. Er geht mit viel zu jungen Ma?dchen aus. Ziemlich bald erkennen sie, dass sie noch viel fu?reinander empfinden und Sandra ist sich sicher: „Diesmal ko?nnen wir es', denn „wir kennen jetzt die Fallstricke'.

The Bible is considered to be the most popular book in history and a huge number of homes in the world possess at least one copy of the Holy Scriptures. Not only that, it is also one of the most translated books in history ranging from Hebrew to Chinese. Yet it is also one of the most misinterpreted books since the time of antiquity. Indeed fanatics and demagogues have twisted the words in the Holy Scriptures to suit their own selfish and immoral purposes.
