Ash Wednesday and It’s Veggie Day in Leipzig
Sorry I have no pic. I like the flyer a lot and picked one up with the purpose of writing about it……………and eating at one of the places participating. Somehow it must have fallen out of my pocket! I remember Fela, Cafe Cantona and Telegraph, but there were loads more! Here’s the facebook page.

HOT off the press…!mehrTANZ supplement to YOU can DANCE in 2012 part two
Just got some great news. This just started this week. !mehr TANZ is bringing in different choreographers to do training sessions for professional and semi-professional dancers the first week of each month. To start things off they’ve brought in Raffaella Galdi. Very exciting!
Raffaella Galdi
Raffaella Galdi was born in Genoa (Italy) and has lived in Berlin since 2002. She is a choreographer, dancer und teaches classical and contemporary dance. She attended the Ecole de Danse Rosella Hightower, in Cannes (France) and received her diploma from the modern dance academy Rotterdam-dansacademie, in Rotterdam (Holland).
Her Contemporary dance training has three main focuses:
-to use the alignment bone structure in order to respect it’s natural condition and the connection with gravity;
-to learn how to work more efficiently by using less muscle tension, only using deep muscles and strictly the amount of tension required to move;
-to explore the idea of “release and connection” allowing the natural connection of different body parts through relaxation and alignment, so that each part can move as a consequence of the other.
Sessions are each day at Josephkonsum from 10-11.30 and cost 7€ each or 30€ for all 5 days.
During the other three weeks of the month, they will have dance residencies with performances at the end of them. We are in luck because are here starting 13 Feb and want to open their first week up to work with the public….more about them to come.
