Thanksgiving


I had a typical Thanksgiving dinner in an American family. It was great. My neighbor, the one who danced in my video "Sweet Afternoon", invited us in his family. We eat the Turkey, beans with almond, potatoes bud, salad, a thing that I don't remember the name but you eat it with cranberry sauce, and then in desert and apple pie with ice cream. At the beginning of the dinner my neighbor's mother ask us to think about someone o something we were thankful about, and we will said it at the end of the dinner. It was really nice to do that. Around the table, we were two Frenches and two Indians. It was funny because the story of Thanksgiving is that Indian gave food to the American, and years later they killed all the Indians. It's the story I know, I don't know if it's the real one... Anyway, it was a really good experience!

Feminine/Masculine

Feminine/Masculine was the name of a contemporary dance creation that I danced last year in France. It's funny because it is also the name of my comparative essay on the David's sculptures. This dance was a kind of battle between men and women. There was moment where the delicacy of women was show and strongest moment where the boys showed their capacities. My favorite moment in this show was the duo. I had a duo with my partner Kofi. It was really nice because I know him well and we had the possibility to create our own duo. Our teachers told us that it was a really beautiful duo because we match with each other. I hope to find someone like him to work with here in LA.

Car Accident

On Saturday I went back home from my aero silk class, and my street was close. I parked my car and went to see what happened. There was two police cars and a crashed car. The man in the crashed car crashed a lamppost. The lamppost fell on the car. The car was totally destroyed. The front was crushed and the lamppost crushed the top of the car. Fortunately nobody was hurt, and the driver was chock but safe.

Green Screen

Yesterday I went to the film festival with my boyfriend. I went to see the Experimental Eye at 3 p.m. The first part was strange. There were lots of films about the water, and another called «Street Chaos ». The last one was really really strange. It showed the worstest parts of LA, drugs alcohol sex fights criminals stopped by the police… and the music was also strange. I better enjoyed the second part with the shorts films. Marianne, Paul and Yassine presented their movies. There was one with a skateboard man which was really funny. At the beginning we just saw someone skateboarding without seing who he is, and at the end we just saw a 60 years old man exhausted ! I didn’t stay to the party at the end because I had to go to another show.

Cirque School Show

After the film festival, I went to see a show from a cirque school in Hollywood. I know that place because I use to take my aero silk class there. All the students did a really good job. It was amazing because they are not professionnal and some of them did  really good stuff. One of the man, who is a surgeon in his everyday life, did a show with the silk. It was great. The last number was a show from a professionnal, and that one was super great and super amazing !

Lofts In Downtown

Yesterday afternoon I went to downtown to visit some apartments. I don't want to move out, but I just wanted to take a look. There is lots of big buildings there, and lots of choices for apartments. Most of the buildings got Rooftop with swimming pool and jacusi, and also a beautiful view on LA. I was suprise by the prices which are not that expensive, and I can even say cheap for some of the apartments. I like to visit places and I had a nice time visiting those places!
