A lot of new things are happening at Grandiva this year and so trying to move forward and do new things has caused me to get behind in updating you on all the latest things that are happening with the company! Grandiva had a wonderful 10th season but as we move into a new decade I felt it was time to renew our commitment to explore dance and art by looking for new sources for creativity. Dance is a living art form that constantly changes as new personalities are added into the mix. Because of this it is not a museum but an exciting, ever changing experience to come to the theater and see artists at different levels of their careers. Grandiva has many veterans but also this season many young exciting performers continue to grow and take on more responsibility. Comedy is the ability to touch people in a very personal way and give them joy. Developing this talent in dancers is a process that is unique to every individual and that is why dancing in Male Comedy Ballet is so interesting and entertaining for me. Because of so many new exciting opportunities for the company we have hired several dancers to bring in new creative energy into the company. Grandiva now boasts of having dancers from more than 12 countries. It is truly international and unique to be involved with artists from so many different parts of the world. I can honestly say that this season's group is one that I have enjoyed working with more than almost any other in the past. I think that you will find that the Diva's of 2007 are charming, fun, kind and passionate about performing. I will introduce them to you over the next few weeks.
I will also like to tell you we had a wonderful time in Italy. Cremona was beautiful. I will try to write about different things in the coming days but I don't want to tell you everything in one sitting :)

Dear Victor,
How are you doing?
I am pleased with the eleventh anniversary start. I enjoy re-Newall HP. However, I worry about an injury of dancers.
And I want to know an event in Italy early!
take care and have a happy weekend^^
...see you soon!
Hey hello Victor and welcome to our fair country in australia.
Just wondered how are you traveling as just by looking at your itenary you're are pushing the limit from thetre to thetre and some days (thank god!!) you do take a day off.
I will be at the Frankston Arts Center on friday and two dancers that i will look at with interest and they are Brian Norris and Carlos Garcia of the trocks and how are they? No broken ankels i hope. Travel safely guys and stay happy. Ant Hill
I have just been to your Brisbane performance...very happy to see it live for the first time, after a bit of studying about Grandiva- absolutely thrilled to see my favourite Natalia. I was almost in tears! Carlos seemed a little quiet to me, though... (I was happy to hear a big applause to Segawa's performance, because I come from the same country as his. Go Tetsu!)
Your Australian performance itinerary seems very, very tough and hectic. By just looking at it, I feel tired for you. I am hoping that your artists are not sick of Australia and say "Australian tour??? No, not again!", because I'd love to see your performance again.
Thanks for coming to Australia. All the best for the rest of the tour. Please come back soon.

Hi, Victor,
Thought you might have missed this since you are no longer in Aus....
Check out a video at Youtube with this key word -
Zorba the Greek Yolngu style
Aborigine youngsters have created their original version, and it's getting so much hit on Youtube that they now might be invited to the country of Zorba's to show their unique interpretation.
Enjoy.
Regards,
Burnie
good points and the details are more precise than somewhere else, thanks.
