It sounds like a loose phrase, but it carries deep within it the soul of the humanitarian message that ballet art should embody and be known for, making it accessible in the true sense of the word within a tangible reality in theaters that present ballet in cities and countries across America, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. We have long been accustomed to seeing ballet as a delicate practice that is easy on the eyes yet, at times, heavy on the body due to the pressure endured by ballet dancers on the nerves of their feet when performing pointe dance in many solo scenes or alongside other dancers. These performances la...

Wishing a wonderful International Women’s Day to all the incredible women out there!  Today, we celebrate not only those who have been in the spotlight, but also the countless women whose remarkable contributions and achievements often go unrecognized. Your strength, resilience, and determination inspire us all, and today we honor every woman's journey, whether it has been widely acknowledged or quietly impactful. You the ones who shape the world we live in. And you are capable of making into a better place as well.  Don’t let anything makes you forget that.  On a personal note,  I would like to pause to celebrate not just the woman I am, but the remarkable journey that has brought me to this moment. Life has presented me with countless challenges, yet here I stand, not merely surviving but truly thriving. I embrace every experience that has shaped me into the best version of myself. And I am grateful for my existence, even during those times when I struggle to see m...

Dreams in the Shadows  By Bedor Alobaidi  Photographed by:  Joelle Blanchard-Figment Art Photography.  Longing comes in the form of delayed waves... it does not cool, its rivers do not dry up, and it does not die to the point of disappearance. Longing is renewed by a word, a whisper, or a picture from memories; even casual conversation is revitalized in half a minute if one of the hearts beats for the other. Then one called the other with calmness and steadiness, attractive and elegant in his silence that expresses much of his exceptional qualities. She thought he was truly longing for her, but the coldness of the replies killed the eagerness between them in mere seconds. Thus, she is a dreamer, and he plays the role of the controller as usual; no expression dares to escape his lips for her, nor can he shed the role of the virtuous city man from his character, which is almost defined by a mixture of arrogance and pride, with a complete lack of understanding. A man cl...

Written and posted by: Bedor Alobaidi  Photographed by: Figment Photography- Joelle Blanchard  I wanted to capture the essence of the year 2024 in my writing, aiming for an ending that resonates with warmth, comfort, and the hope that springs from a strong, unyielding desire—free from hesitation, delays, or the exhaustion of waiting. I seek to close this chapter of my life with heartfelt gratitude for everything I have experienced, for the challenges I faced out of necessity, and for the moments that demanded I confront situations head-on. These moments often involved navigating complex debates about unfamiliar concepts—not because they were inherently right or wrong, but because their existence served a purpose, perhaps to strengthen my view in certain scenarios rather than succumbing to assumptions or over...
