- Hiroaki Umeda: Holistic Strata - review
Festival Via, Mauberge, FranceMy first impression was that I was looking at a Christmas tree or perhaps some interstellar mutant. But in fact the crackling creature that leapt out of the darkness was none other than the Japanese dancer and choreographer Hiroaki Umeda. In the first few seconds of his new show, Holistic Strata, the sound erupted like a gunshot, then he burst apart, covering the stage in white flakes. It was the starting point for a 30-minute virtual snowstorm.Holistic Strata, first performed last month, is now touring France. In view of its initial success this show could well last as long as Umeda's previous solo performances, in particular Haptic or Adopting for Distortion, which he is still performing in France and abroad.Umeda, 34, is a leading figure in the Japanese avant-garde. After studying photography in Tokyo he began composing music and creating videos on top of his work as a dancer. He turned professional in 2000 and has been at the cutting edge of digital choreography ever since. His shows are a combination of images and sounds, the result of lengthy experimentation on his computer. He appears as a living lightning conductor in a whirl of visual and musical agitation.He has covered a lot of ground since 2002 and his first appearance in While Going to a Condition. Umeda is almost always centre-stage, dressed in a black T-shirt and pants, and fairly stationary, shaken by the occasional undulation or spasm. Like some electronic zebra he is covered in constantly changing black-and-white streaks, then suddenly caught in a glare of light as the sound erupts.With Holistic Strata Umeda has turned into a human screen, a dancing landscape, seemingly on the verge of being overwhelmed by pixels and dissolving into the electron flux. His digital skin assu フェスティバルビアは、Mauberge、FranceMy第一印象は私はおそらくいくつかの星間変異やクリスマスツリーを見ていたということでした

- Where was Greenslade? Snowbound, sadly...
I posted on Monday about my being secure in the snowbound Irish county of Donegal, having arrived by ferry three days before.I was awaiting the arrival of my wife (and daughter, plus her youngest son). But the closure of airports, cancellation of planes and booking of all ferry places meant that they were unable to join me.Facing Christmas with the family split apart, and discovering that ferries from Ireland to Britain are virtually empty in the run-up to Christmas, I was forced to catch a ferry from Belfast on Tuesday night, arriving at Birkenhead yesterday morning.The boys and I had to dismantle the Christmas tree, take down all the decorations, repack all the goodies and presents and so on.There were also driving dramas: the -12° overnight temperatures made it difficult to get into cars, let alone start them. And movement on Donegal's roads was extremely dangerous. So there were adventures in having my saloon car towed on to a so-called safe stretch of road. And lines of cars were driving across counties Derry and Antrim at 25mph.Then, after disembarking from the ferry, we had to drive down from Cheshire through snow storms in the Midlands before arriving in London yesterday lunchtime. It was early evening before I got back here to Brighton.I mention all this because it meant that I missed one of the most interesting politico-media stories of the year, namely the one involving Vince Cable, BSkyB, Rupert Murdoch, the Daily Telegraph and the BBC's business scoop-artiste Robert Peston. It was particularly frustrating during the drive to be called several times by radio channels eager to interview me on the subject. (I am sorry to researchers who dealt with my seven-year-old grandson's terse responses to their pleas).I am pleased to say I've now been able to read ever 私は月曜日に掲載さについての私のフェリー3日間before.Iは私の妻（と娘に加え、彼女の末の息子）の到着を待っていたが到着したドニゴールの雪にアイルランド郡、セキュリティで保護される

- Christmas dangers for dogs
Piercing pine needles, broken baubles, poisonous chocolate – the festive season can be perilous for FidoI haven't read a survey I liked more since the one that said one in four British vets have treated a drunk dog. So anyway, how about this: 79% of dog owners get fake Christmas trees to avoid injury to their dogs. My mind filled with intoxicating images of labradors trying to do a wee against a real tree, knocking it over, breaking the window and being pelted with broken glass and maybe snow. In fact, the main problem is that they get pine needles stuck in their paws. So it's not dramatic, but it's not very nice, and you still have to go to the vet.The website that conducted the survey – dogsblog.com, which is very useful if you want to rehome a dog, or look at cute pictures of dogs – helpfully compiled the top-five festive dangers to dogs. In with a bullet at number one is chocolate, for the possible theobromine poisoning. Number two is antifreeze – I was just about to be more precise, but you don't need to know what's in it, all you need to know is that it's blue and you shouldn't drink it. Then pine needles, glass decorations and crowded kitchens.To this expert advice, I will add the top-five festive dog-dangers that I have observed: broken glass in gutters, dropped by drunken idiots probably wearing flashing deely boppers and thinking that's funny; drunken idiots in your own house, dropping things on your dog; dogs eating tinsel or silver foil, then having to expel them later (I'm not sure that this is dangerous, but it looks uncomfortable); dogs being dressed as Santa (it's humiliating; and also, unrealistic, because a reindeer would never obey a dog); and finally, dogs straightforwardly overeating.Poor mutts, they think Bonfire Night is bad, but yule is far more 松葉、壊れたつまらない、悪意に満ちたチョコレートを利用しています - お祭りシーズンは、私は、1つの4つの英国の獣医が酔って犬を扱っているもう一つから好きな調査を読んでいないFidoIに危険なことができます
