29th May - the day of the Honey Bee!

We are turning our Alverne milonga in Penzance into a Buzz Night! - to celebrate, as well as raise awareness of the importance of one of nature’s smallest dancer, the honey bee whose existence is now under threat. There will be mead and honey filled goodies and lots of gold and black dressed dancers - buzzing around in a tango hive style!

Tango – Ecstatic Flight Through the Senses

Picture artist unknown Preparing to dance, I stretch out my sense-antennas. I scan the distance by listening through my body. I smell, I observe and finally notice. Upon gestural agreement, gently, I touch my partner. We get closer and closer. We drop into the meeting of our skins - the periphery at which we affirm our separation, as well as begin to flow into and through one another. And, as we softly spread along this permeable boundary, our breathing, now via the skin pores, begins to expand and relax too. At that moment, I begin to feel a pull towards the darkness of the inner caves and caverns of our bodies – the deeper intimacy. I turn to the inner eye, the senses that ' see' in the dark. And within this realm of imagination, but also simply bodily knowing, I begin to track, not only shapes, but also the core impulses of our movement. I continue to sense, although that sense has now become a full-bodied feeling. I half or even fu...

Love is..

After quite a few years, I am back to the blog! This time round, I am going to offer some of my writing. As English is not my first language, I have certain amount of nervousness doing this, but I also have trust that what needs to be communicated, will be! So, to begin this journey, here is my recent musing on love: Honey (2013) by Andy Van Dinh The simplest yet most profound form of our human journey is one of Love. Magical and indescribable, often misconstrued, oppressed, secret and untapped, but mostly passionate, beautiful, sensual, sexual and essential. Love is a myriad of faces, in one.

Like a curious Child, love nudges us towards places unreachable by the overtly critical eyes. From within the darkness, it beckons us to enter the wild, the hidden and the...

Internationalize the Amazonia? Brazil’s Amazon basin, some 360 million hectares cleaved by the world’s largest river, the Amazon, whose 80,000 kilometers in length is equal to the distance between New York and Berlin, holds the planet’s greatest biodiversity reserve. This unique, complex, exceptional ecosystem is a colossal Patrimony of Humanity. Should it be internationalized? Below is an insightful response from the Brazilian Minister of Education, Cristovão (Chico) Buarque, better known as a poet, composer and musician. In a visit to an US university, Chico Buarque was asked by a young US ecologist about the possibility of ‘internationalising’ the Amazonia. His response highlights the complexity of the issue, the powers in play, the threatened sovereignty of nations and the double standards applied when deciding on these issues. It also reveals a humanist approach, honesty and wisdom of a government minister such as Chico Buarque. “From a humanist perspective...” “As a Brazil...
