A powerful story told well will connect with you at a soul level… Storytelling at its finest yesterday at the Edward Scissorhands ?? ballet ?? Not a word spoken but the audience were gripped to their seats and lots of tears shed throughout (me included ??) It’s one of my favourite films of all time but the ballet took it to another level - I was in awe Here are 5 personal reflections from this incredible performance about acceptance, identity, & compassion ?? 1. Embrace your uniqueness and differences - celebrate your individuality and appreciate the beauty in what makes you different. Rather than conforming, embrace your quirks and find your own place in the world 2. Compassion transforms lives. Fact - the power of empathy and understanding can transform lives. Extend kindness to those who seem different or misunderstood. Everyone carries their own burdens and stories 3. Adaptability and resilience - life will throw curveballs your way so resilience is essential. Learn to pivot, find creative solutions, and keep moving FORWARD despite adversity 4 Appearances can deceive: - look beyond surface-level perfection and appreciate the complexities within ourselves and others. True beauty lies in authenticity and vulnerability 5. Love conquers all: - love doesn’t always follow conventional norms; it can bridge gaps and defy expectations. Cherish love wherever we find it, even if it defies societal norms ? anyone else out there ia fan of this movie? Have you seen Matthew Bourne’s adaptation in the ballet? ?? #sundayvibes #ballet #theatre #embraceuniqeness #edwardscissorhands https://lnkd.in/efpYyJPF - watch this ??

DMX lighting universe? Sure. Easy. LED jumbotron wall? Sure. Easy. Hardware, software, and content for a universe of individual light fixtures masquerading as a double-sided hall-length "screen"? ... Yeah, we do that too.

“Our research shows that for every dollar invested for a child in a circus training program, seven dollars are potentially saved in their future mental health costs,” said lead researcher Dr Richard McGrath. Bridges has long been an advocate for the arts as a means of providing accessible wellbeing programs and offering communities an opportunity to share stories that are important to them. Bridges offers support to young people and families through their Family Mental Health Support Service with offices in Gayndah and Kingaroy and outreach across the Burnett region. Feedback from our team working in the Burnett was that young people needed something in the school holidays to engage them socially and physically. We approached Flipside Circus, Queensland’s largest youth focused arts organisation, who offer circus training programs across Queensland. So why is a mental health service organisation supporting a circus workshop program to tour the region you might ask? Circus training and performing is a fantastic way of maintaining physical and mental wellbeing. There is a wealth of academic and scientific research that has been conducted in Australia and internationally that demonstrates the wellbeing benefits of participating in circus. Circus skills includes a variety of acrobatics (including tumbling, balancing and trampoline), juggling, aerials (such as trapeze, silks and lyra) and hoops as experienced in the recent Flipside Circus workshops. Research conducted by the University of South Australia in 2019, analysing the experiences of 55 participants in a children’s (aged 8-14 years) circus school program, demonstrated that there were significant improvements in the young people’s mental wellbeing; particularly stress relief, self-esteem, confidence and socialisation. The study showed that there is a quantifiable social return from circus.

Ah, the sweet symphony of success - the sound of your aching feet harmonizing with the creaking of your chair as you finally, FINALLY, sit down post-event. It's a melody every event planner knows by heart. Your feet are staging a full-scale rebellion, questioning every life choice that led to this moment. They're screaming louder than the DJ at the afterparty, and with more passion than the keynote speaker. But you? You're grinning like you just won the lottery. Because those screaming feet? They're the battle scars of victory. Each blister is a badge of honor, every ache a testament to an event well-executed. You've run a marathon in dress shoes, performed a ballet in heels, and somehow made it look effortless. So go ahead, put those feet up. Let them scream. You've earned it. And tomorrow? You'll do it all over again, because that's just how we roll (or hobble) in this business. #eventprofs #corporate #chooseforesight

https://lnkd.in/gxphzTCX Available On Amazon: https://lnkd.in/gejcE49V Internet gambling and the expansion of casinos beyond the Nevada State Line have put a financial strain on racetracks. Johnny Luck, Hong Mian triad big shot, and his beautiful blonde ex-jockey protege, Jesse James, are always looking for ways to expand the triad’s gambling operation. In the fifties and sixties, Jai Alai was a big deal in Florida. Gamblers would fill the frontons and drop thousands of dollars betting on Basque athletics competing in a sport that was so dangerous it was referred to as the Ballet of Bullets and The Game Is Dodging Death. Johnny Luck sees the potential revenue that could be produced by resurrecting the all-but-dead blood sport. The question is, how to make it popular again? Jesse has the answer. Television. People will bet on anything; they'll also watch anything, as witnessed by the plethora of cooking shows that feature ordinary people competing for who can fry the best egg. If there’s a competition, people will bet on who will win. But where there is money, there is corruption; enter the Miami Bettor’s Club, run by old Hong Mian rivals Tommy The King Kong and Marco Antonia Suarez, nicknamed El Astronauta. In the end, the Ballet of Bullets becomes all too real for the people fighting for control of the gambling revenue generated by the International Jai Alai League. Ballet of Bullets The Game Is Dodging Death Written by Jerry Bader

This video was designed to showcase both the art of movement and the beauty of athletic power. At Yudae we understand competition to be the smallest form of athletics. At its core, athletics are what keep us safe, adaptable, and ready for the real world. They help us build the mental resilience and physical fortitude to crush even the hardest times. Let this video inspire you (and others) to become the best, most athletic version of yourself you can be. https://lnkd.in/gtyzW8Zs

Last weekend I had the chance to watch “King Richard”, the inspiring story of how Venus and Serena Williams became the amazing tennis players we all know. It’s a clear example of determination and hard work, fostered by Richard Williams, the main character in the movie, who was literally obsessed with making his daughters the best tennis players in the world. Overall, the movie is really good, following a good rhythm, and Will Smith really nails the role of Richard Williams. There are many observations and learnings in the movie. An obvious one is the question that comes up in a lot of discussions on whether anyone can master any given discipline with the right training plan. I still think this is the case but there have to be always certain underlying conditions to achieve that excellence status (being those conditions physical, mental, etc). In this case, both girls are motivated, committed and showing hunger to get better. It’s interesting when comparing it to Andre Agassi, who also had a father acting as a coach and determined to make him number one, but following a more controversial approach and pushing Andre to the point of making him hating tennis since early infancy. And still he made to number one… The second, is the important role that a coach plays in an individual’s career. The methods used by Richard Williams were probably not approved by everyone and his decisions might have not been the most appropriate ones at certain point, but in the long run it makes a difference to have a plan, follow it through and not get distracted by other factors. As an example of this, it is remarkable (spoiler alert!) how they reject the first multi million contract that Venus is offered, convinced about the potential that she had. Definitely a must watch in this start of the year, especially if searching for some inspiration ?? https://lnkd.in/eZ32hqpy
