Last evening I had a wonderfully unique opportunity to sample a complex mixture of art, science and creativity at the elegant Orpheum Theatre<\/a> in Omaha (circa 1927)–in the form of modern dance!<\/p>\n

If you can spare just a few moments for a few highlights of the performance, please have a look at this video of the Momix Botanica<\/em><\/a> modern dance group:<\/p>\n

The group made phenomenal use of costumes, special effects, lighting and talented dance to recreate everything from a flower’s growth to fireflies on stage. Spectacular! Greatly recommended to any of you who have the opportunity, and they travel the globe…<\/p>\n

Happy Mother’s Day to all those mothers out there! I must say that there is clearly an unfair bias to fathers, in that Father’s Day falls outside the school year and is therefore largely a forgotten event…<\/p>\n
