But in retrospect, he credits himself with doing one thing right: He saw a good way to look at his situation and committed to faking that perspective, hoping that his genuine self might eventually catch up. It wasn’t that Miller was suddenly enlightened internally, he was in turmoil. After the operation, when Miller was rolled through the hallway again, he opened his eyes as he passed her and said: “Mom, Mom. They were proving that I was lovable even when I couldn’t see it.” This reassured Miller, as did the example of his mother, Susan, a polio survivor who has used a wheelchair since Miller was a child: She had never seemed diminished. “They all dared to show up,” Miller remembers thinking. But on the morning Miller’s arm was going to be amputated, just below the elbow, a dozen friends and family members packed into a 10-foot-long corridor between the burn unit and the elevator, just to catch a glimpse of him as he was rolled to surgery. Then, all the pain hit him at once.įor a long time, no visitors were allowed in his hospital room the burn unit was a sterile environment.

He still has two more smaller shows on tap - “Coppélia” at The Arc in Anacostia and “The Little Mermaid” at Imagination Stage in Bethesda - but “Bowie & Queen” is his final on the main stage. “It’s definitely not your grandmother’s ballet.” “ present really good ballet, dancers dancing in a really passionate way, and surprising audiences,” Webre said. That’s the legacy of Webre’s career, an outside-the-box approach that both captures the attention of ballet newcomers and commands the technical respect of die-hard ballerinas. It loosens ballet up and turns it on its head, but it remains ballet.” “Rock artists were tearing down, so having a combination of those two just makes for an interesting dynamic. We are what rock was essentially rebelling against,” Webre said. “Ballet is thought of as an establishment art form. We have this great language with a reputation for just being dead swans floating in a lake,” Webre joked.Įnter the perfect “swan song” - “Bowie & Queen.” “I think audiences need a hook into the world of ballet sometimes. It’s all part of Webre’s continued effort to reach new audiences who haven’t been exposed to the beauty of ballet. Yes, it’s been a wild 17 years for Webre at The Washington Ballet, a run that has included other rock ballets celebrating the music of The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Beck. In fact, I commissioned my first work from him when I first arrived here 17 years ago.” “He’s the bad boy of the ballet world,” Webre said. “Trey has made a lot of ballets for The Washington Ballet. The entire thing is choreographed by Trey McIntyre. For example, there’s tapping in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ … Imagine the rhythms of a drummer doing a wild rock solo - imagine making that syncopated sound with your tap shoes.” “Tapping we identify with Fred Astaire, something suave, or Savion Glover. is so raw with the Queen music. Part of that roller coaster is a unique flurry of tapdancing set to rock music. … It’s really heartfelt, like this cathartic, emotional roller coaster.” It doesn’t feel like something you bought from a 1-800 number … because it gels together in an emotional sense. “But it doesn’t feel like a greatest hits ballet. “The music is so much a part of our collective American psyche,” he said. It features a string of Queen hits, including “We Will Rock You,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Fat Bottomed Girls” and “Bicycle Race.” Ultimately, it’s about the joy of dancing and just being yourself and not conforming.”Īfter intermission, Webre presents the second part of the show, titled “Mercury Half-Life,” referring to Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. “ went back and listened to interviews with Bowie spanning over 20 or 30 years. … this beautiful journey. ![]() “The music in alternation serves as a prologue to those pieces,” Webre said. ![]() In between the Bowie songs, there’s original music composed by Gabriel Gaffney Smith, as well as violin by S&R Foundation Artist-in-Residence Machiko Ozawa. ![]() “‘B-sides’ sounds like a bad word these are really amazing tracks.” “They’re actually kind of B-sides, really interesting beautiful songs that I hadn’t known well before,” Webre said. We hear B-Side tracks like “I’m Not Losing Sleep,” which Webre calls “beautiful work for solo,” and “Goodbye Girl,” which Webre calls “a dance for three men in pursuit of two hot ladies,” before culminating with the Mick Jagger duet “Dancing In the Street.” The Bowie segment is titled “Dancing in the Street” and choreographed by Edwaard Liang, who highlights the quieter part of Bowie’s career. … Freddie Mercury could not have happened without David Bowie before him. Freddie Mercury had, I think, more of a mainstream rock aesthetic in a certain kind of way, but there was a kind of glam rock that united them.” “They’re both vocal artists who come with a sense of rebellion. “The two pieces contrast beautifully because the David Bowie work is a bit more introspective, and the Queen ballet is this rollicking, full-on, go-for-the-jugular experience,” Webre said.” The extravagant evening is divided into two parts - a 30-minute ballet set to Bowie’s music, followed by a 20-minute intermission, before closing out with a 50-minute ballet set to the music of Queen.

Through a little bit of research on the Internet I found myself at two websites that would forever change my Mac experience. The first thing I sought out when making the switch from Windows to Mac was software that would enable me to keep my Mac free of the riff raff Windows users face constantly. Personally, I run a tight ship, so these programs came in handy quite often during my naïve and ignorant Windows PC days. The second allows for a manual addition or removal of programs which are no longer needed, or unnecessary or problematic. One of the tools, Defrag, is a systematic protocol developed to automatically reorganize and rearrange fragmented program files. ![]() These two tools (Defrag and Add or Remove Programs) are, at their core, tools to allow the reorganization of data. For the sake of saving time and maintaining my low blood pressure, I’ll refrain from jotting down a “Things I Don’t Miss” chart. Two specific features top my chart of “Things I Miss.” Actually, it’s safe to say my “Things I Miss” chart is limited to two features: Defrag and Add or Remove Programs. I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s very much the truth – our counterparts do have some features worth mentioning. However, having been a Windows user for such a long period of time, I’m left missing specific Windows features. These issues eventually led me to enlightenment, i.e., a MacBook Pro. In fact, there are specific issues that were so inconceivable, I actually remember the countless hours I spent resolving them. Throughout that period of time, I had countless issues with my Windows PC and Windows as an operating system. I was a Windows user for nearly nine years of my life.

Microsoft Outlook redesigned for macOS Big Sur – launched fall 2020 Timeline to the new Outlook That goal makes sense in light of Microsoft just launching the new Outlook for Mac that was redesigned for macOS Big Sur back in October and then updating it with M1 Mac support in December.

The effort is codenamed “Project Monarch” and will offer the same UI and design no matter if you’re accessing it via Mac, Windows, or the web. Reported by Windows Central, the move by Microsoft is to simplify Outlook so it’s just one product that works across all devices. Notably, the biggest part of that includes a controversial shift from dedicated Mac and Windows apps to a web-based app that’s platform agnostic. Microsoft's advice is to upgrade macOS to Mojave or Big Sur "for the best user experience and longest support lifecycle." After all, the impending arrival of macOS Monterey, which was shown during Apple's WWDC in June, will mean support for Mojave will be on the line if Microsoft makes good on its promise to only support the current and previous three versions of macOS for OneDrive sync.As Microsoft looks toward the future, “One Outlook” is the vision for how its mail and calendar app will evolve. There is therefore no guarantee how long it will work past the 10 September cut-off date. You also won't be able to install it fresh. Microsoft will simply no longer update or test it.
