workwithinwork Canadian Premiere
William Forsythe galvanized the dance world with brilliant, innovative thinking, catapulting him into the international spotlight with his dynamic 21st century approach to the art form. workwithinwork is a superb example of his iconic style, using craft and imagination to explore the limits of dance by allowing the body to interpret space with sophistication and curiosity. Choreography: William Forsythe. Music: Luciano Berio, Duo for two Violins.
New Work World Premiere
In this World Premiere, Walter Matteini works with the play between the light and dark sides of human nature, “near the border where everything takes a new form. One of Italy’s most dynamic dancemakers, Matteini is an important new voice whose “…purpose is to convey emotion” with his deeply human and accessible work. He has worked with many international companies, including Aterballetto, National Ballet of Marseille, Monte Carlo Ballet and the Lyon Opera Ballet. Choreography: Walter Matteini.
Petite Cérémonie World Premiere: Ballet BC 2011
Created for Ballet BC, Medhi Walerski’s Petite Cérémonie is a surprising mix of dance and theatre, resulting in a dazzling landscape of movement and ideas. Thought provoking and humorous, the work is an imaginative comment on relationships and the proposition of ‘life in a box.’ Choreography: Medhi Walerski. Music: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Vincenzo Bellini, Antonio Vivaldi.
Tickets for this triple-bill are available online now. All performances start at 8:00pm at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre.

Essential for afternoons at Third Beach, or breaks from volleyball on the sand in Kitsilano, Gallant & Jones has released the Vancouver Beach Chair for the season, a collaboration with local talented textiles designers KT&Paul.
The Vancouver Beach Chair is all handmade with a solid frame and fabric back, designed and hand printed in Vancouver.
The frame is hand crafted in small batches out of North American White Oak here in Vancouver and it is stained with a natural and eco-friendly oil for superior outdoor protection. With stainless steel screws, it’s built to last! The hand screen printed back is 100% cotton and held together with flat nickel plated pins. The chairs folds flat for storage and carrying, and it looks great in the Vancouver sunshine.
For every chair sold, Gallant & Jones along with designers KT&Paul will be donating $10 to Covenant House Vancouver, a cause very close to my heart. You can purchase the black or the turquoise style online for $169 and if you ever need a new fabric sling for the back, those can be purchased separately.
Gallant & Jones is a local company known for their outdoor furniture (along with bags, tents, and towels). Their most popular product is their Deck Chair, and with every purchase a tree is donated and planted through the Love Trees Program. Follow on Facebook and Twitter for more company info.

Let’s face it, the thought of “internet marketing” doesn’t always conjure up the most pleasant feelings as pop-up ads, spam email, and unwanted selling opportunities come to mind. However, there is a very good side to internet marketing, and it’s the bigger, better side. The side where a campaign raises thousands for a cause, where a video can move you to happy tears, and when the independent business can connect with major brands to reach customers and audiences they wouldn’t have dreamed of reaching before. Making connections and achieving goals.
This is the side of internet marketing that I know and that has allowed me to grow my dream business over the last ten years. I love what I do, and you should too, so with the Canadian Internet Marketing Conference coming to Squamish, I hope I’ll see you in the audience when I take the stage for a panel presentation about blogging for business.
