Nikolaj Returns!: And The Guggenheim Will Live-Stream His Royal Danish Ballet

 

Nikolaj Hubbe, former beloved NYCB principal of course, will be returning to NY with the Royal Danish Ballet, of which he is now the artistic director. The company will be performing over the summer, but first, they’ll be showcased at the Guggenheim, in a Works & Process event, on March 20th and 21st. He’ll be one of the panelists, talking about the rep the company will be performing – ballets by the founder of RDB August Bournonville, by Jorma Elo and by Hubbe himself – with excerpts from those dances performed. The event is already sold out, so the Guggenheim is generously live-streaming both nights free on their ustream channel. Again, as with other W&P live-streams, you can participate in an online chat on the aforesaid ustream channel, and you can also follow discussions on Twitter, using hashtag #RDB or by following @worksandprocess.

Reading is Sexy Kindle Party!

 

This Thursday night I’ll be participating in the first ever (that I know of anyway) Kindle party. There will be a total of eight e-book authors, including acclaimed women’s lit writers Karen Cantwell and L.B. Gschwandtner. Audience members are encouraged to come with their e-readers, though it’s not necessary to have one. (I think most of us have print versions of our books published as well.)

It’ll be held at the Soundry, in Vienna Virginia, but will also be live-streamed online! So you can watch from the comfort of your home, and participate in a live chat (format is similar to the Guggenheim’s Giselle live stream & chat). It’s from 7-10 p.m. EST on Thursday night, February 3rd. Go here for the ustream channel. There will also be a discussion of e-readers and e-publishing in general. So, tune in (or come if you’re in the DC area) if you’re interested in any of those things.

This is the first time I will have read from my book post-publication, so I’m really excited about it. I’m also really excited about all of these live-streamed events!
