If you live in Nottingham and you have the temerity to claim social security benefits because you're too ill to work then its pretty likely that at some stage you'll wind up here. This is the waiting room for medical examinations for Incapacity Benefit. The exams are carried out on behalf of the government by a company called Atos Origin.

What Do I See? (What They Do To Me?)©

 

Execute my fears, kill them, blow them all away with relief

Have a blast, have a say, let this moment have it's way

Fine weather, a pretty face, flirty eyes opening the door of passionate belief

A name, a redefined mood for disposable concoction of utter dismay

And here we are presiding over burning formulae for icy morning

The blue sky has an Anglian sunrise for it's blessed crowning

 

Song two fills my head, seeking and destroying the webs of waste

Not yet fully awake my sleepy thoughts exorcise toxins conceit

Something inside so sulphuric, spiteful and slighted by taste

Disharmonious with the Zen of flow before the tri-coloured repeat

An undeclared war of zones one and two, the spell of present ages

Fanatical powers fire our hatred, for imagination to repel the facing pages

 

Torn, burnt, damaged and lost from a fingertip switch of chi-annal

This unfinished story of indigestible med to pacify the docs of admin

Creating the other me from a science that heaves to political throe of channel

No cure for the broken spine that must take it all on the chin

Weak yet keeping a distance the touch of pain seems such a conspiracy

Where apathy retains youth, health grows old and out of sight from deliracy

 

However, every feeling is labelled meticulously, dated methodically

And hurt medically...vigour poisoned by every medic looking out for himself

My Soul is fractured left right and central to spinal sensations lost analogically

Walk away if it could my anger is blue like my breath numbing itself

Designing hygiene for the senses acquiescent, my severed nerves cut off from reality

They increase the prescription! I wish to avenge sevenfold their hospitality

 

Change tack! it really is nice out, the sunbeams pole-dance the trees with ease

Light is the greatest dancer, the erotic benefice of anguished posterity

One morning after She looks as sexy as ever, this pneumatic heartbeat tease

With a withy whipped-up enthusiasm She is the Gloria of salvation and temerity

No more do I wish to see the twibilled surgical topping

For my sensual natural lover is atop my senses for the pain She is a heart stopping.

redo to de-ghost some leaves that had the temerity to move instead of posing

Tuesday 19th April 2011

Mrs. arrived at the end of March. No-ring arrived on the 3rd of April. It is now 16 days since they paired up and as expected, their behaviour and timing has indicated that eggs are now part of their agenda. As a general rule, if both birds are in good condition after their flight, the first egg will be laid between 13 and 16 days after first mating so we were not surprised at the weekend to see Mrs. eating a fish on the nest rather than taking it away. This indicates that she feels an egg is imminent! By Sunday she was sitting tightly – tightly being the operative word as the new nest has a very limited ‘floor space’ as compared with their previous abodes. It’s difficult to envisage how squashed it will be if she hatches three healthy chicks.

However, for the moment we do not know for certain how many eggs have been laid. A guesstimate would be two as there is often about two –three days between each egg arriving. Another indication is that the pair mated a few times today, which they are unlikely to do if she had produced a full clutch of three. (Occasionally, a female will lay a clutch of four, but Mrs. has no history of doing so and space-wise it could be a potential disaster!)

Life on the valley floor is not all a bed of roses or oak leaves – there are still the neighbours to contend with. Instead of ‘bad buzzards’ there are ‘menacing magpies’ and crows, of course. On Sunday one large corvid had the temerity to land on the nest face to face with No-ring. After a stunned moment in which the two birds eyed one another No-ring flung himself at the intruder and chased it off down the valley. Both magpies and crows are tenacious and cunning so the osprey pair will have their work cut out making sure the eggs are never left unguarded.

This bus driver actually had the temerity to sound his horn to make this van move out of the bus stop! He was lucky, I was in a bus here once and the bus driver was blocked from exiting the bus lane by a white van man parking right at the end. On return from Asda and told by the bus driver to move, white van man poured out a torrent of threatening abuse. Had I been the bus driver I would have reported a Public Order crime to the police.

China offers the most unique rest stop experience in the world, I opine. Dozens of grizzly men in dark jackets squat indiscriminately in the parking lot. They smoke, but more frequently and with more temerity they spit and snort. How Chinese people can deftly use their fingers on their face to pick, to blow and to examine truly amazes me. Yet, I still can't fathom how, in 5,000 years of continuous culture, what in Hong Kong is euphemistically referred to as "cough and sneeze manners" have failed to manifest themselves in the middle kingdom. Are tissues and anti-bacterial hand wash two of the five evils? (or more likely, is the longevity of Chinese culture owing to its unsanitary ways?) What I do know, however, is that I dare not park my bag on the floor upon re-boarding the bus after a rest stop. Dirty China lives on here.

'The Silenos, who had the temerity to challenge Apollo to a musical contest, is condemned to be flayed alive. The choice of this violet-veined marble ("pavonazzetto") dramatically renders the livid color of the Silenos' tortured body. (Early imperial Roman copy of a Greek original from the second century BCE. Found in 1874 in the the Horti Maecenatiani, near the Auditorium.)'

HISTORY RBDG

Company Overview

 

Victor Quijada, choreographer and performer, founded the RUBBERBANDance Group (RBDG) to make it a channel for expressing and disseminating its choreographic identity by creating, among others, evocative and unpublished plays. The company, co-directed by interpreter Anne Plamondon, is responsible for creating, producing and distributing Quijada's work nationally and internationally in the form of shows, films and special events.

 

With RBDG, Victor Quijada reconciles the aesthetics of the two poles of the dance that inhabit him: the spontaneity, the risk, the temerity and the audacity of his youth, while he was bathing in hip-hop culture and refinement and the choreographic maturity of ballet and contemporary dance, where he evolved as a professional dancer. The revolutionary character of the aesthetic movement created by Quijada is illustrated by a dozen years of research that have led to more than twelve creations. Impressed by the inherent independence of the street and a keen sense of direction, Quijada's choreographies explore human relationships by capturing the ardor of obsession, the brutality of violence, the delicacy of tenderness , comedy and tragedy, not forgetting sincerity and courage.

 

Carrying the sensibility of street dancers, Victor Quijada seeks ways to integrate the spontaneity of hip-hop circles into the stage. He has explored various forums, made spontaneous representations and knocked down barriers between performers and the public in innumerable ways. All this with the same objective: to get rid of the format of the usual representations so that the public experiences the dance actively, rather than passively.

 

In addition to their stage and film creations, Victor Quijada and Anne Plamondon have developed a training program to prepare professional dancers for the demands of Quijada's choreographies. This program introduces the dancers to a hybrid movement influenced by the vocabularies of urban and contemporary dances, with emphasis on interpretation, decision-making, the use of rhythmic variations and accompaniment. Workshops, lecture-demonstrations, question and answer sessions and school performances are also regularly offered as part of the tours.

 

RBDG also helps young choreographers who want to express their own voice. The Post Hip Hop Project, born in 2009 at the Cinquième Salle, invites young artists to work their creations under the mentorship of Victor Quijada and then present them to the public.

 

Company History

 

Founded in Montreal in 2002, the company immediately delighted the public and critics with three creations presented at Espace Tangente over two seasons. At the same time, the company participates in mixed programs and organizes parties throughout the city to present smaller pieces. Tender Loving Care and Hasta La Próxima share a place in the top five dance productions of the newspaper Le Devoir, while Elastic Perspective begins in 2003 a series of more than 100 performances after winning the RIDEAU Prize at Festival Vue on the Relève. The RUBBERBANDance Group then obtains a residence at Usine C for the 2003-2004 season. The play Slicing Static was created, and later named the best dance production in 2004 by the Hour newspaper.

 

In 2005, Anne Plamondon joined Quijada as artistic director to assist with strategic planning. A second residency at Usine C was granted to them in 2006, followed by a four-year residency at Place des Arts. During this period, four new pieces were created, thanks to the support of multiple partners: Loan Sharking and AV Input / Output in 2008, Punto Ciego in 2009 and Gravity of Center in 2011.

 

RBDG also co-produced five films choreographed by Victor Quijada. The choreographer goes so far as to realize two: Secret Service and Small Explosions That Are Yours to Keep. Hasta La Próxima, shot in 2003, is a finalist in the short film category at the American Choreography Awards.

 

Now well established, the company embodies Canadian artistic innovation in the United States, Europe, Mexico and Japan. RBDG is at the forefront of the Montreal contemporary dance community and is recognized internationally for its unique vision of this form of dance.

 

In terms of peer recognition, Quijada received the Choreography Fellowship from the Princess Grace Foundation (USA), the Peter Darrell Choreography Award (England), the Bonnie Bird North American Award (England), the Choreography Media Honors (US) in addition to a second PGF award with the 2016 Work in Progress Residency Award.
