Catch a brief glimpse of an open rehearsal we had recently for the @canadianopera world premiere of Hadrian by @rufuswainwright with libretto by Daniel MacIvor. Directed by the passionate, sensitive visionary Peter Hinton. Assistent director @operaruss & the amazing dancer team of @gexplosion @brtaylor_1 @rodneydiverlus #jackrennie lead by the creative, open and kind @deniseelizabethclarke of @oneyellowrabbit • HADRIAN Performances run October 13, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 & 27 @ Four Seasons Centre, 145 Queen Street W, Toronto, ON • Get your Tickets: https://www.coc.ca/Hadrian Under 30yrs old for only $22 • SYNOPSIS IN ONE MINUTE Emperor Hadrian is devastated after his lover Antinous drowns in the Nile River. While matters of state encroach on his grief, and advisors clamour for war against a radical new threat to the Empire, Hadrian slips out of time to re-encounter the vision and reality of Antinous—and learn the truth about what happened on the Nile.  • • #canadianoperacompany #coc1819#COCHadrian #toronto #operatoronto#torontoevents #opera#hadrian #hadriantoronto #rufuswainwright #danielmacivor #newopera #WorldPremiere #newwork  #artsto #worldpremiere #classicalmusic #contemporarydance #dancer #instadance #loveislove #gay #gaylove #gaymen #lgbtq #love #loveneverdies #lgbthistory (at Canadian Opera Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoNGnpngkfZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v7641t9fujzq

I have finally learned to never say that ‘R-Word’. RETIRE. . .nope. The Universe has been so kind and generous to remind me that age is nothing but a number and what is meant for you WILL ARRIVE when it’s time. There are so many games that can happen in our mind. Heavily influenced by society, the city or small rural town you live in, who you are dating and often in comparing yourself to others. Even with a satisfying 15 year performing artist career around the globe and my awakened purpose continually evolving in the health & wellness field. I have a creative soul which I have finally happily accepted. Whether I get paid dancing in world premiere’s with a world-class team, or it be dancing amongst the ferries and my ancestors in the forrest, I will be dancing through life till my last breath.
