| Arrabal, the tango dancer for DIGITALMANIA's* Florian Nicolle inspired challenge |
Meet ARRABAL (check out this YouTube* link!) We met her in her coming-of-age story, as she entered the underground world of Buenos Aires's tango clubs and discovered the violent history that took her father and disrupted her nation. In an explosive story told entirely through dance and music, we learned about the political violence that threatened to destroy Argentina in the 1970's... as well as a bit about the tango, born in the working class neighborhoods of Buenos Aires at the end of the 19th century. Although the music was very loud, it was beautiful, sensual... and the dancing was exciting and unique! If you're in Toronto, it's playing at the PANASONIC Theater.
A second piece, inspired by Florian Nicolle* (a 25 year old French graphic designer and illustrator,) for Flicker's DIGITALMANIA* is this piece I created in Nicolle's style...I call it BLIND...
INSPIRATION AVENUE* declared its challenge to be CHANGE... my thoughts immediately flashed to 9/11 and how much the world has changed since then. Remember when air travel was fun?
THE THREE MUSES* wanted to see some art about ARCHITECTURE. I've always loved the romance of castles...
That's it for this week's challenges. Enjoy the rest of your week...especially the weekend!! See you for my next posting?
Thanks for stopping in!
Big Hugs,
