Auguri dalla Biblioteca

La Danza appartiene al silenzio dello spirito                                              (Martha Graham) Manuela Canali responsabile bibliotecario, Antonella Altavilla assistente di biblioteca, Nika Tomasevic, curatrice del blog, Mariangela Olmeda volontaria, Grazia Pia Sabatelli volontaria, Maria Rinaldi borsista dell'Accademia, Desirée Carletti tirocinante dalla Università degli Studi Tor Vergata.   This is Francesca Vinci and I teach English to the first year undergraduate  students. However, I would not be here if there were not my students, my  loud, quiet, fantastic dancers.  They are the AND: they are its walls and its concrete; they are its sky and  etoiles and to shine even brighter they need a guide, as the sailors needed  their Polaris and the Wise Men needed their Bethlehem Star looking for the  Newborn King. Merry Christams from me and my students whose thoughts summerise  the poetry and graceful art that can be almost smelled by entering the  Academy. Dancer, sacrifices, discipline, rhythm, music, freedom. Dance is LIFE. 'Dance is the expression of what I have in my soul that I write with my arms,  legs and heart... and the body becomes poetry.' 'A dancer is a soul that follows the rhythm of music and moves gracefully in  the air, while carressing it.' '... when I dance, I speak of me, of my true self, of my past and of my  exeriences without using words because they are not enough, most of the  times.' 'When my body changes through its movements, my inner self changes  itself in its emotions, sensations and personalities.' Dancing is the best expression of our human and angelic nature.  Buon Natale from us all.
