The countries of Europe have long been numbered among the most lucrative markets for reggae artistes, owing to the numerous huge festivals staged there, especially during the summer months. Entertainers who needed to visit #Europe for work purposes simply had to secure documentation from the promoters who were hiring them, and then apply for a Schengen visa. However, with the #coronavirus #pandemic having the world on its knees, a new set of rules and regulations may be implemented.

She speaks one language – #dance. If ever an opportunity arises to start a conversation with the owner and artistic director of the Dance Forever Contemporary Theatre Company, Michelle Allison Pilgrim, don’t let it pass. The #Trinidadian is on an ­expedition to reach the ­pinnacle of dance education, and it just so happens that Jamaica is her present stop, where she is studying the L’Antech, a modern contemporary Caribbean dance technique, with its creator Dr L’Antoinette Stines. “As technical dancers, we are exposed to ballet and Horton’s Technique, etc., which is how we are trained. So to learn that someone from the Caribbean dared to use those foundations to create their own technique, I find that is amazing,” Pilgrim told The Gleaner.
