I connected the entirety of OHSHC (anime dub) to the calendar :)

This took me too long <3

Alrighty! So what I'm gonna do first is show the calendar charts for when/if people come back to look at them and already understand what the mean, then I'm gonna specify what I mean by each day exactly by telling you the first scene of each day with time-codes under the cut (skipping the full day episodes because... duh), and then I'm gonna explain why (with sources)... It'll make sense if you read the whole post I promise.

So. On the calendar, the days will be listed as episode number and day number (E#:D#). These will be color-coded. Pink means that day definitely is that specific calendar date based on the information I have. Purple means we have some wiggle room. Green are national holidays (found on questionjapan.com and nippon.com).

Oh boy we made it to how you can fact check me!!! This is gonna be an entire brain-dump because I am dead

E1 - Aired 4/4/2006 (info found on imdb). Japanese school generally starts on Monday the second week of April (info found in an article from questionjapan.com), which was 4/3/2006, and various comments seem like it's early but not the first day, so we're setting the first day as the first airing to have a starting point!

E2 - It's still "early spring", the cherry blossoms are only buds, there's a slight sense of normalcy, the club has definitely been open for at least a week thanks to Kanako's shenanigans, and the party takes place in "one week", so the first day would have to be late in the week, likely the week of 4/10. Thanks to the fact that Haruhi's practice session with Kanako is directly the next day, the first one would have had to be Thursday, and the second would be Friday. The party could conceivably be the next Friday or Saturday, but I would really really hope it's Friday because Suzushima waits for Haruhi in his school uniform. Also Suzushima is going to England "next month" (May) which could technically be literally any day in the month...

E3 - So the cherry blossoms were blooming on the night of the party last episode, and they're still blooming for the flower-viewing reception. According to this article on japan-guide.com, after the cherry blossoms start legitimately blooming, you've got about a week. We're gonna assume the earlier the better considering the state they're in! On the day of the flower-viewing reception, physical exams are "the day after tomorrow". When they are back in the music room, Haruhi says "sorry I'm late guys" which means she wasn't with them, ergo it's a new day.

E4 - Renge arrives on the first day, crashes the club, and pronounces herself lady manager. She's transferring into class 1A "tomorrow" (which means two week days back-to-back), and then later she arrives to the club with cookies in her school uniform, so I assume that's the day she officially transferred. Renge has a crew flown in from LA to film the host club movie, which she doesn't have the idea for until she starts working on the hosts' characters. I used travelmath.com to calculate the flight time between Tokyo (as a major city in Japan) and LA, which came out to about a 12-hour flight, so we need a buffer day at least. The movie seems to be filmed on club time, so that's a week day, and then "several days later" the episode concludes, which could literally be anywhere between 4 and 9 days in colloquial terms.

E5 - I think it's pretty safe to say this takes place over three consecutive days just on how the episode is presented (one day fight and make-up). This definitely has to happen after the conclusion of the last episode thanks to Renge.

E6 - Ok ok ok ok ok so: most of the shenanigans have to take place over three days. Shiro greets the club on a costumed club day, he observes them on a non-costumed club day, and he goes back to the club... which could conceivably be on the same day as the observation, except that the club appears to have just opened and the teacher gave the kids a new piece for the day. On that third day, Hina is supposed to move to Germany at the end of the week, so the recital is probably that Friday to give Shiro more time to practice. And now... the incident. There was a date on that invitation that we as the audience get to read. I got so excited!! A concrete date I could place this one on!! Except it's September 3rd fucking September 3rd why does is say September 3rd fuck you bones what the fuck is this shit

Anyway Shiro hosts "10 days later". Interestingly, not for the first time thanks to the comment "I thought [Tamaki] would make it through without exploding this time".

E7 - School day. Post the conclusion of the last episode because Honey "felt threatened last episode" and before the next because that one hinges on the conclusion of this one, but otherwise there's absolutely nothing tying this one down.

E8 - Sometime after episode 7 they decide to go to the beach, then presumably the next weekend they spend one night in Okinawa. Since this ends up falling on the week of the twins' birthdays, I absolutely refuse to believe any of these days happen on June 9th because... come on. Do you think the twins would ever keep their mouths shut about their birthday???

E9 - This starts no later than Thursday due to the fact that the cultural expo lasts two days back-to-back (explicitly labeled). Of course, this is assuming Ouran has a five-day week, as many things on the calendar do, thanks to that same article from questionjapan.com I mentioned earlier.

E10 - It takes place over one day on a Sunday, thanks to Haruhi rejoicing that "there's no better time to hit the supermarket than a Sunday morning"

E11 - Kirimi shows up, the practice in the science room happens two days later because Haruhi says "she's made me read about fifty volumes of shojo manga over the last three days" (Kirimi's arrival, the day before, the day she says that). "Several days later" the hosts see Nekozawa hiding again.

E12 - Genuinely what the fuck why is Honey's toothache only three days long they definitely take longer than that sir??? Anyway it's explicitly in the title so three days it is! The bunny incident definitely happens the same day as the discovery of Honey's toothache (referenced as "earlier").

E13 - I don't know man the actual awake day happens for like a minute and a half. Week day??? If the entire episode was just a nebulous dream I probably wouldn't have even counted it on the timeline lol.

E14 - First of all, the newspaper club's story on the host club is supposed to be the very last story of the semester, so it's gotta be real close to the start of summer vacation. The first day is near the end of the week ("how many copies did we sell this week"), and the second day is the very next one ("tomorrow").

E15 - Explicitly stated by the twins, it starts three days into summer vacation, or 7/23/2006!! Japan's summer vacation starts on the 20th (found traveltips.usatoday.com and that same questionjapan.com article). Obviously, when Kaoru wakes up on the floor would be the very next day, or 7/24/2006.

E16 - Starts on the same day as the last episode (7/24/2006), Haruhi's date is "tomorrow" (7/25/2006), and the conclusion would be "the next day".

E17 - TAMAKI'S EXPO FLYER SAYS 8/27-8/31!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT I WANTED FROM HINA'S STUPID INVATATION THANK YOU ANIMATORS FOR THIS CRUMB OF EASE. It's also the last day of summer vacation which would be the week of the 31st!! I can't guarantee which day of the week it would be though, because I would assume school starts up again on Monday, but I could be wrong? It doesn't make any fuckin sense to start school again on a Friday that year but hey man I don't make the rules.

E18 - Who even fuckin knows man. One school day, but there's literally weeks of unused space in the time slot this could fit so like close your eyes and pick a date :')

E19 - Singular day on the weekend. If I had to guess, it would be Sunday (just because Haruhi was planning to go to the supermarket), but no promises. Probably September.

E20 - I didn't include it on the calendar because it literally does not matter. The entire episode is a flashback, there's not a singular moment that takes place at the time of the rest of the anime <3

E21 - Starts the week before Halloween (10/23/2006). Final exams (2-3 days according to this Q&A that I picked and chose from) are almost happening, because clubs generally aren't in session during exam days. Haruhi and the twins skip on the club to help 1A plan, which means it's the same day. The tournament is explicitly stated to happen on Halloween night. The ending is... sometime soon after that?

E22 - Spread over two days: like Renge in the fourth episode, Kasanoda shows up while a costumed club day is in session, but sticks around after that. They're one after the other ("yesterday").

E23 - This obviously starts on the same day as the end of the last episode. Kasanoda refuses to eat dinner "again", but I can't guarantee that this is connected to Haruhi? I don't know, the language around her is all muddled, dude. It seems like it was originally intended to be on the exact same day as the start of the episode, because when Tetsuya talks about how he saw Kasanoda and Haruhi together, the sub says "today" (the scene wasn't in the manga so I couldn't check that :/ ), but the dub says "all the time". For why. Anyway, it seems like he visits as a guest the very next day but I don't have a direct quote for that one. This episode's timeframe is probably the most mindfucky out of the entire show T - T

Then in the conclusion it seems like it was supposed to be the same day but I can't guarantee it and also the roses are in full bloom in fucking November???? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Literally just put these episodes before the Halloween one literally just put them in September/early October literally all you had to do was air these episodes before Halloween and not reference the pumpkin carriage metaphor I fucking know you guys could do it you rearranged a whole bunch of other shit from the manga timeline why would you do this to me fuck you fuck you fuck youuuu

Also technically according to this article the roses could be blooming if they were in the very very very south of Japan but also that would have literally meant that the cherry blossoms would have been in full bloom in mid-March <3

E24 - Literally it's cold enough for falling leaves and kotatsu tables the very next episode FUCk you bones anyway it's one school day

E25 - The super super fun thing about this is that I could have placed the cultural festival on the weekend it's SUPPOSED to be on (gainjinpot.com and questionjapan.com) if literally just the Kasanoda episodes had come out before the Halloween episode <3 I am a ball of pure fury. Anyway, it starts the morning of and continues to sunset. We're gonna assume its Friday based on the next episode.

E26 - So this is day two of the cultural festival, or the "main fair". Since the festival is generally a one-day event held on Saturdays and this one is supposed to be the main one, we're gonna put this one on Saturday.

OH MY GOD I FUCKIN DID IT!!!!!!!

ATLA Gender Bender: "Aangi"

Aang -> Aangi

I have wondered where the name "Aang" originates from. It might actually be derived from the real name "Aangi". In any case, "Aangi" seems like the obvious choice for female Aang's name.

"Aangi" would have probably grown up at the Eastern Air Temple. She may have been frozen in ice while attempting to flee southward from the Eastern Air Temple.

I've been picturing Kiernan Shipka as the voice of "Aangi". Granted, I think Book 1 "Aangi" would sound more like Ikki, but by Book 3 she would sound like 12 year old Jinora.

OUTFITS:

1: Book 1 & 2 outfit

This outfit is designed to match the appearance of young Air nuns, shown in "The Rift".

For her hairstyle, I referred to several images, especially Erik Törner's "Tibetan girl in Shegar, Tibet" (see: www.flickr.com/photos/eriktorn…). I intended for Aangi's appearance to be symmetrical, and for her hair to be relatively short in Book 1, so that her hair could grow longer during the timeskip between Books 2 and 3. Unlike Ikki and Jinora, I wanted her hair to be tied in pigtails instead of buns. This allows her hair to be more expressive, and to flow freely in the wind. Her pigtails are meant to somewhat resemble the wings of a bird in flight. I also decided to have her pigtails tied underneath her ears. This is because Aang sometimes wears hats and other garments to hide his arrow. By tying her pigtails under her ears, this allows her hairstyle to be visible even when she has to hide her tattoo under a hat.

2: Book 1 & 2 undergarments

In real life, Buddhist nuns wear the same triple robe as the monks but with two additional layers, making it a "five-fold" robe (see: hayleyssilkroad.wordpress.com/…) These two additional layers are the sankakshika (undergarment, see: ia800908.us.archive.org/35/ite…) and udakasatika (bath robe, see: www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/h…).

The sankakshika "Aangi" wears in Books 1 and 2 is based on the sankakshika shown here: https://discourse.suttacentral.net/t/what-are-the-original-clothes-of-buddhist-nuns-sankacchika-video/23728/9. It extends from the chest to the navel, and is fastened by three brown, circular buttons found underneath the left armpit. Note that this is an undergarment, not a bath robe. She would not wear this while bathing or swimming, but would be seen wearing this during the Guru episode.

This undergarment would be destroyed by "Azulon"'s lightning in the Book 2 finale, forcing "Aangi" to replace it with an undergarment crafted from red Fire Nation cloth.

3: Aangi's Fire Nation disguise

4: Aangi's Fire Nation disguise, without headband

The three stray hairs on her forehead are a feature she shares with "Princess Zuka".

5: Book 3 outfit, with outer robes

Aang's Book 3 appearance is based on the Shaolin monks. As such, his female counterpart's appearance is based on the "Kung Fu Nuns of Nepal". In addition to their website and Facebook page, I referred to this image specifically: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna49859526

"Aangi"'s robes feature the color red for two reasons. First, as an homage to the maroon robes worn by the "Kung Fu Nuns". It also makes sense as an in-universe explanation, as "Aangi" would have fashioned her new clothes during her stay in the Fire Nation, where most cloth is red.

By the end of Season 3, I think her hair would be much longer, and she would resemble a younger Yangchen.

6: Book 3 outfit, without outer robes

During the progress of the final fight with Ozai, "Aangi"s robes would burn away bit by bit, much like Aang's clothes. This costume would be visible in the middle of her fight with Firelord Ozai.

7: Book 3 outfit, Avatar State as seen in the finale

This undergarment replaces "Aangi"'s sankakshika. It provides similar coverage to Toph's bathing suit, and is somewhat similar to Katara's sarashi. This is how "Aangi" would appear by the end of her fight with Firelord Ozai.

8: Comics Aangi

This is a very similar costume to her Book 3 outfit.

Society has moved past the need for "together in the afterlife<33" endings to Elisabeth. Like, if that's your takeaway, why would you produce the show oabfösbgödlf

It's not a story about love, it's a twisted mockery of a love story. Lucheni's narration - because it was always supposed to be that and only that!!!! He is not an objective source of information and that is 900% the point!! - uses the conventions of a love story to make a point. Seeing what happens should horrify the audience, and if it doesnt horrify the audience, the audience should think about it a bit and be horrified upon realising that they've been made to root for something horrible (a relationship that kills and destroys) and possibly even find it sweet or comforting. Goes for Elisatod and Todolf both. Lucheni makes a big old romance or seduction narrative - something we're societally wired to enjoy and root for - stand for a lifelong fascination with death. He's the OG romanticiser. But, at the end, it doesn't work if the audience isn't shown the tangible effects and end results of that narrative, which to me are

Elisabeth's cruelty, bitterness and brokenness throughout act 2 and how she TANGIBLY harms other people in the course of her pursuit of freedom (this could also start in act 1 already, with Milch). In this we can root for her, but the audience should never forget the price paid. It's not that she's evil - far from it - we should almost see her selfishness as the only coping mechanism she has in her situation and be drawn to deeply understand and care for her and hope against hope that she'll reach happiness somehow. Which makes it even more tragic that it does still harm others, and EVEN MORE tragic, awful and uncomfortable that happiness slips from her grasp and she's literally joyful that she's DYING

Elisabeth's death as a "ruined" ending to the show. There's a kiss and the music swells triumphantly, still in keeping with Lucheni's pretense that this is a grand love story, but the audience should be left feeling empty and horrified after it ends. I don't care if it's bad for marketing ajfkdkkf. Tod should PUT HER ON THE FLOOR or otherwise show that after the charade is over, she's dead and her imaginary boyfriend can't save her or accompany her because he's an empty husk that doesn't exist unless she's there to imagine him - or, if Tod is a more real figure, that he doesn't care, or can't care. He cares during her life because she pertains to his fate-assigned task, but afterwards, there's literally no way for him to and no reason to. She's gone to a place he can never know about or follow her to. Or he's just done. I think it's a very grave mistake when the show is directed to have a genuinely triumphant-seeming ending. Death is not REALLY happiness, death is not really freedom, even though Lucheni spends the entire show gaslighting us to think that. If Elisabeth has a happy ending, it becomes a show that legit encourages suicide in a way that no amount of todolf flirting or Mayerling kissing can. (I see people wonder about whether todolf romanticises suicide, but in staged productions, it literally never does. It can't, because Tod never is outright tender with Rudolf, or is implied to stay with Rudolf after Mayerling. At least in European prods - idk if this happens in some of the Asian prods, I don't watch them because I don't like what I've seen of the way zuka, toho or koreabeth are directed ajdkkdkf. I can't believe homophobia is protecting todolf from the romanticisation treatment but I think it is 💀).

Overall.......... like, vbw please, less KKOG and more alle fragen sind gestellt. If you want a sparkly elegant princess love story with lots of drama, banger music and don't mind if there's no actual criticism or metacommentary, just go watch Anastasia 💀 (i mean that one does also have historical criticism, but it's just COMMUNISM BAD, aristocracy GOOD lol. Ajdkkdfb if Elisabeth was written by Lucheni, Anastasia was written by dowager empress Maria Feodorovna lmao)

#rant XD #musicals #theatre #elisabeth #analysis #meta #also please i know someone is gonna want to say 'but my brain go brrr when i see them kiss' i know. its the point #but in the words of aris sas - theatre shouldnt be pleasing or make you feel happy all the time. and imo the best works don't....#also i'm just an angry gay person on the internet and there's probably at least half a million ppl in europe who disagree XD dont put too #much stock in my opinion

(SA cause no that's hilarious)

"Oh hello? Are you here for someone?" Alma asked smiling at the children of prominent and influential families in their community. She did not know why they were at her door but she was not going to be on anything but her best behavior with them around.

"We came to visit our friend if that is alright Dona." The son of the villages doctor outside of Julieta said adjusting his glasses a bit.

"Oh that is perfectly fine. I just wasn't expecting you is all. Please please come in." Alma said waving them in and wondering which of her grandkids were friends with these boys. Probably her perfect Isabela.

"We wanted to surprise her." Two of the boys, the twin sons of the seamstress in town if she wasn't mistaken, said grinning.

Alma merely chuckled and waved them all in. Of course her Isabela had made friends with the sons of the wealthiest and most influential. She expected nothing less.

"Please make yourselves at home. I'll be-"

"Guys?!" The voice from the kitchen made Alma frown. Mirabel. Why was she on the kitchen and why did she seem shocked? Surely she knew of her sister's friends.

"Mira!" The influential boys all brightened up and swept past Alma to go and greet Mirabel.

"Oh if it isn't the smelly apes." Another person was standing beside Mirabel, two more flanking the taller girl. Almas eyes widened.

Why were the daughters of three families just as influential as the boys here? And with Mirabel?

"Oh great it's the Zuka club." Alma hears one of the twins mutter under his breath.

The tallest boy was striding towards Mirabel with a purpose and Alma watched as the son of the head captain gently cradled Mirabels face.

"You're injured. Who did it?" The boy asked his voice deep and solemn. Instantly all of the boys looked alert and pissed.

"Wait she's hurt?"

"Is that why didn't meet up with us in town?"

"Who hurt my beloved Mirabel!?"

"Hm."

"Are you okay Mira?"

Alma watched as the boys fussed over Mirabel in detached shock while she gave an amused sigh and reassured them she was fine and it wasn't anything to worry about.

"I think a grown man your mother's age belting you in the face and breaking your jaw is something to worry about Angel. But at least the Zuka club was there to help and get some justice done on the man. Unlike you boys." The tall girl said and a smaller blond girl that Alma vaguely recognized as the daughter of the fruit seller, the biggest produce producer and seller, was already poking Mirabel into eating another arepa.

"Give me a name." The shortest boy, wasn't he supposed to be a fighting prodigy? He was the son of the security corps..he looked so young..., Said and his voice was cold and stern.

How...how did her giftless useless granddaughter know these children of prominent families?!

NAH CAUSE ALMA REALLY THOUGHT HUH 💀💀

She was so surprised when she saw them gushing over her. Absolutely floored. Like omg, the giftless one has friends, who are very influential 😦 how dare she!1!!!11! Surprised she didn’t: realize befor,e but then again, she pays pretty little attention to her, so there’s that. Host club and Zuka club def compete for Mirabel’s attention and she’s just like “all of y’all are my friends”.

Istg if Alma tries something, Imma put her on a shirt 😩

Anyway have the weird??? Continuation idk. Something that came to my mind, and I kinda rushed it, so excuse any bad writing dawg 😩

———

As Mirabel was being fussed over by both the Host Club and Zuka Club, Alma thought hard for a moment, before she ultimately backed out of the room, leaving the group of teenagers alone.

"Really, I'm fine! Beni, Suzu and Hina took care of him and I ate some of my mama's food! So I'll be fine," Mirabel said as Suzuran placed yet another arepa into her hand.

"Fine. But if I find out who did this to you, I won't spare him," Honey said darkly, before he suddenly perked back up and hugged Mirabel tightly.

"Hm yes...anyway. We've actually come on another occasion. We need to discuss your party that's in 8 months." Kyoya said, looking down at a couple pieces of paper he had on him.

"Party?" Mirabel asked curiously.

"Yes. Your quinceañera of course. We need to know the theme so we can be properly dressed and what time so we can arrive on time." Kyoya said, slightly confused at how Mirabel seemed to surprised at what he said.

"Ah...about that. I don't...I don't think I'll be getting one." Mirabel said, visually dejected.

"WHAT?!" Almost all of them yelled out, save for Mori, but even he look shocked.

"What do you mean you won't be getting one?!" Benio said, hands on her hips as she stared at Mirabel.

"Well...my family is just so busy, and no one ever stuck around to plan with me in the past 2 years. You guys are actually the only ones outside of mi papa and Toñito to ask. But it's ok! They're always so busy, so I'll just have to have a small party or something..." Mirabel tried her best to look optimistic, but it was clear to those surrounding her that she was genuinely hurt.

"We'll plan it." Tamaki said and all eyes were on him. "We'll do all the planning to your liking and we'll get everything ready in time. I will not let you go without a quince. It is a right of passage, and you deserve it more than anyone."

"W-What? You don't have to do that, it's way too much, I couldn't accept that! I couldn't pay you back, there's the food, the dress, the party decorations...and Abuela will never let it happen at Casita," Mirabel frowned, panic present in her voice.

"Well we handle the location." Kyoya said, adjusting his glasses. "Mori, Honey, could you ask the captain if he could have the town square cleared for March 6th?" Mori nodded and Honey enthusiastically gave a thumbs up.

"I can handle the food catering," Suzuran said, flipping her blond hair. "I'll just ask my parents to help cater to the party, it shouldn't be a problem."

"And I can handle your cake! My father is the best baker in the village, so we can go back to my place together and plan it out." Hinako said, smiling gently at Mirabel.

"But...there's the decorations and..." Mirabel trailed off when she noticed Tamaki perk up.

"Have you met me? My precious Mirabel, I'll take care of that. You just choose a theme and I'll have it done like that," he said, snapping his fingers.

"Well...I won't be able to finish my dress on time! I have to tend to Casita and do other stuff, I only have the design written down," Mirabel argued, trying to refute her friends' attempts to give her a party out of guilt.

The twins laughed, throwing their arms over Mirabel. "That'll be no problem! We can got your dress," Hikaru said, pinching Mirabel's cheek.

"Our mom loves you, and once she hears that you need a quince dress, she'll put it at the top of her projects list. Just hand over the design and we'll have our mother make it," Kaoru finished, pinching her other cheek.

"I...I don't have a court," Mirabel said slowly.

"We'll be your court," Tamaki said, pulling a rose from God knows where, and tucking it gingerly into Mirabel's ear, sweep her into a ballroom like dance. "We'll be the best court, better than any of your cousin or sisters'," Tamaki, letting Mirabel go, her landing right back into the center of the group. Both the Host and Zuka club might be rivals, but they were willing to put that aside if it meant Mirabel could be happy.

"For music we'll ask the local band to play, and as for your first dance and changing of shoes, we'll inform your father of what will be happening, along with your cousin, Antonio." Kyoya said as wrote something down. "You may inform your other...family...if you wish, but its ultimately up to you."

The girl stuttered, trying to find words as she looked among the Host and Zuka Club members. Tears welled up in her eyes and they were all over her again as she cried into her hands.

"Why are you crying little Angel?" Benio said, moving to wipe the tears from Mirabel's eyes.

"I'm...I'm just so happy and grateful...no one's ever done something this nice for me before," Mirabel whimpered, sniffling. "Thank you! So much..." She said before sobbing harder, and both of the groups smilied as they continued to comfort the girl.

Tagged by: @rinn-e thank you!!

Rules: Post the last seven sentences from one of your WIPs! i’m not going to say it has to be the absolute last seven sentences you’ve written - just from something you’re still working on.

I currently have two WIPs -- the next chapter of The Book Smuggler and my first foray into the Star Wars fandom with a Bad Batch fic that I may either leave as a one-shot or continue. So here's the last lines from each:

The Book Smuggler - Ch. 13

Zukas smirked, arching an eyebrow. "A rebel priest?"

"I'm not a priest," Tauras said quietly.

No Escape

The man sent him an indulgent smile. "That's right. You sustained quite a fall. The headaches you're experiencing are part of the healing process, I'm afraid. But let me assure you...the worst is behind you now."

Tagging: @chessna2, @doomspiral, @morgenlich, @puella-peanut, @a-study-in-dante, and anyone else who sees this and wants to do it....no obligation of course ;)

"Ritmo e grazia nel Gala 'All Beats to Dance' che incanta la Fortezza da Basso di Firenze"

All Beats to Dance è il tema scelto per la coinvolgente kermesse del 23/24 e 25 febbraio 2024, nell'affascinante Fortezza da Basso di Firenze.

Un straordinario evento che vede la completa partecipazione del vasto e variegato mondo della danza.

"All Beats to Dance – The Gala" è anche il titolo dello spettacolo clou nel cuore di questa celebrazione artistica e organizzativa, dove la maestria di Francesco Volpe ha dato vita ad un coinvolgente spettacolo tenutosi sul palco della Sala della Ronda nella serata di sabato 24 febbraio 2024.

Questa bellissima priposta ha visto la partecipazione di prestigiose stelle del panorama della danza, sia italiane che internazionali.

Al centro dell'attenzione, il duo composto dall'étoile di fama mondiale della Scala, Nicoletta Manni, e dal primo ballerino scaligero Timofej Adrijashenko, i quali hanno interpretato "Luminous", un pezzo su musiche di Max Richter, mostrando una complicità e un'intesa scenica di raro impatto emotivo.

La loro performance ha trascinato il pubblico in un viaggio attraverso emozioni dense ed evocative, sottolineate dalla maestria compositiva di Richter.

Non sono mancate poi le esibizioni di Luisa Ieluzzi e Danilo Notaro, entrambi étoile del prestigioso Teatro San Carlo di Napoli, che hanno interpretato "Don Quixotte", dimostrando una maestria tecnica e un'espressività che hanno rievocato l'essenza e lo spirito della narrazione originale.

La serata ha visto anche la partecipazione di sedici straordinari ballerini dell'Aterballetto, i quali hanno offerto una vibrante interpretazione della "Rapsodia in Blue" di Gershwin, unendo la loro elegante tecnica di danza contemporanea alla energia e al swing inconfondibile dell'opera di Gershwin.

Il pubblico ha anche accolto con calore Ana Sophia Scheller, stella dapprima a San Francisco e poi a Kiev, Alejandro Virelles Gonzalez, principal dello Staatsoper di Berlino, e Daniil Simkin, stella dell'American Ballet Theatre di New York e dello Staatsballet di Berlino, che hanno arricchito ulteriormente l’evento con le loro prestigiose presenze.

I Fresh’N’ Clean, ballerini di Popping noti al grande pubblico per la loro partecipazione al programma Tú Sí Que Vales, hanno portato una ventata di freschezza e originalità, conquistando i presenti con le loro dinamiche performance.

Erika Zuka e Yari Paolone hanno toccato il cuore del pubblico con "Get Over It", una performance emotivamente carica, frutto della coreografia di Stefano Santarelli e accompagnata dalle note immortali degli Eagles.

Questa coppia di danza sportiva, classificatasi tra le prime 25 coppie a livello mondiale e campione d'Italia in carica, ha arricchito lo spettacolo con un tocco di passione e tecnica impeccabile.

Travolgente anche l'esibizione di Danilo Simkin dell'American Ballet Theatre.

In conclusione, "All Beats to Dance – The Gala" è stato uno spettacolo di rara bellezza e intensità, capace di entusiasmare e commuovere un pubblico vasto ed eterogeneo presente, un evento sicuramente di elevato livello nella proposta culturale internazionale.

2023 Reading Challenges - It's A Wrap!

I am jumping the gun a little bit by posting this today. So, I have included the two books I will complete by the end of the week. I am thrilled that I actually completed all, even exceeded some of the reading challenges I committed to this year. It's amazing what you can accomplish when your body stays reasonably healthy. Hopefully, I can do the same in 2024. I reviewed most of the books and each one listed is linked to my review. There were a few I read from my personal bookshelf so didn't write reviews. Those books are linked to Amazon. 2023 Reading Challenge
