REVEL is Rainforest Action Network's annual celebration of their indomitable work as environmental warriors. And a fabulous party to boot, with performances by Bonnie Raitt and Bob Weir. How wonderful to document and salute the 30th year of RAN's work of fighting for labor rights, land rights, and indigenous rights.
Here's a video LRP shot and edited about Show Box, the street-side performance hub designed and built by CounterPulse and Jensen Architects for the San Francisco Market Street Prototyping Festival. Their aim was to reestablish Market Street as a cultural center and to connect communities. See what happens when street becomes venue!

Interesting insight into Balanchine's "Apollo" with Heather Watts, former NYC Ballet principal dancer who worked with Balanchine:
Both movement and performance in Ingrid Graham's dance film "211" are exacting and yet tender. In just a few short minutes, the choreography and imagery speak of such human themes as duality, relationship, and struggle with some lovely dancing to boot! See for yourself!
