Two bodies intertwined in a battle of the wills, neither backing down. It is a cold, measured confrontation — one advances, the other retreats, slipping further out of…
I love the three-part punch of July, August, and September. A lot of changes happen organically around us due to the sheer chaos of warm weather, loose schedules,…
For the first time, I was the one that made the trip happen. Blame it on the Pisces in me, but I have a tendency to delay making important decisions until the other party is annoyed enough to do it for me.

It can be a finicky thing, setting up my writing surroundings in the right way to pour my heart out. I find the commute between the desk, the couch, and the bed is an impossible equation to solve.
In my mind, I want to make things easy for everyone. I want to do the big thing but take every small precaution along to way to make sure that everybody on the team feels heard, understood, taken care of, and properly briefed.

There are many ways to entertain ourselves as spectators. We can watch sports, observe the animals at the zoo, experience the opera, or simply go down the Netflix rabbit hole. Personally, I am partial to another type of entertainment – the dance performance.
Pop music exists as a living archive of each decade’s defining trends, and on a personal level, a dreamy utopia where the president is Beyoncé, the currency is…
Неясно докога затворените паркове и граници и още по-несигурната перспектива да се върнем към залите за изкуство и спорт, било като зрители, за тренировка или репетиции, са сред…
We enter DNK: Space for contemporary dance and performance, and right at the door, we are greeted by the three co-creators and performers Aleksandar Georgiev, Zhana Pencheva and Darío Barreto Damas. Smiling…
There was an air of excitement for the premiere of Hang in There – the sold-out night also marked the choreographic debut of interdisciplinary artist Tsveta Doycheva. Her first project…
I dip in and out of dead-end alleys, cross scenic bridges, and make sharp turns into streets so tiny that it seems impossible to squeeze through to the…
The Teatro Malibran in Venice is tucked away between quaint bridges and narrow streets. Once you track down the 900-seat opera house, hidden in plain sight, you feel…
In a retrospective May-June season that launched Derida Dance Center’s brand new Stage Derida in Sofia, Bulgaria (a former TV studio refashioned into a black box), the company…

Nonchalance, inventive choreography, and genre-bending collaboration are the hallmarks of New York-based tapper Caleb Teicher’s work. Teicher first made waves as a founding member of Michelle Dorrance’s innovative…
Peyo Yavorov was one of the most brilliant Bulgarian poets. Equal parts tender and brooding, his love poetry grabs you by the throat and demands an intimate, sacred,…
Allie X has repeatedly been hailed as “the future of pop” by different publications, and it’s a fitting title for this gorgeous artist obsessed with reinvention, temporality, destruction,…
As I’m writing the title of this post, I acknowledge how different SEO-centric writing is from writing as a contemplative practice. I can’t deny the appeal of being…
Before we get into it, let’s analyze what the female pop star has grown to represent in the last decades. As Nelly Furtado neatly articulates in 2006 sex…
Two months after seeing it, Alessandro Sciarroni’s UNTITLED_I will be there when you die still emerges in my mind on a weekly basis. It is a meditation on precision, discipline and risk featuring four juggling performers.
Sizzling disco synths, two young attractive bodies, and a domestic drama in a home straight out of Pinterest. You’d be forgiven for thinking that Hercules and Love Affair’s…
Earlier this week, I came across a daring post by London dancer Alana Grant, sharing her story of how she’d just gotten cut at an audition not because of…
