Kaylo Crescendo's Court of Children

(This is a DIFFERENT Kaylo. Not the one from my Balan Wonderworld stories)

So, I had this idea in my head for a while now, and it involves Kaylo, and the idea of her having a court, since she's the ruler of a kingdom. This however is no ordinary court. This consists of various children from throughout the Multiverse. So, I'm gonna list them out here.

Rules of the Court:

Any Child that joins the court MUST be at or under 16 years old (it's the Court of CHILDREN. Not teens or adults.)

The only people that know about the Court HAVE to be close to said Child (parents, close friends, family) other than that it's a complete secret (at least from mortals)

All kids in the court must take the "Immortal Promise" (A special pinkie Promise like ritual that ensures that a child freezes in the aging process. They can not, and WILL not age, as long as they have this promise

KEEP IN MIND! The list isn't complete, and more names will be added, so don't be surprised if the list looks longer

Kaylo's Court of Children and Kids

No kingdom is complete without a Court. And this is no exception with the pink haired ruler of Rhythm Heaven. Of course, this is no ordinary court. This court consists of the many children that exist around the Multiverse, that have all taken "The Immortal Promise", a promise that ensures that they live as long as Kaylo does, and still retain their youth

Bologna: Tornano gli appuntamenti estivi nel Chiostro del Teatro Arena del Sole

Bologna: Tornano gli appuntamenti estivi nel Chiostro del Teatro Arena del Sole. Il Chiostro del Teatro Arena del Sole di Bologna torna anche quest’anno ad animarsi con InChiostro, la rassegna di spettacoli e appuntamenti estivi a cura di ERT / Teatro Nazionale, dal 20 giugno al 6 luglio ogni martedì, mercoledì e giovedì alle ore 21.30. Il progetto è parte di Bologna Estate 2023, il cartellone di attività promosso e coordinato dal Comune di Bologna e dalla Città metropolitana di Bologna - Territorio Turistico Bologna-Modena. La programmazione si snoda lungo 3 settimane per un totale di 9 serate e vede l’intreccio di spettacoli teatrali e musicali, con alcune performance della rassegna di danza Carne, il focus di drammaturgia fisica di ERT curato della coreografa Michela Lucenti, seguite ogni sera da un incontro a cura del giornalista e critico di danza Carmelo Zapparrata. Tra gli appuntamenti, alcuni lavori che propongono uno sguardo al femminile come Voci di donne, il reportage sonoro del collettivo di giornalisti freelance FADA realizzato insieme alla compagnia LeNotti; Molto dolore per nulla dell’attrice e autrice Luisa Borini; la performance Fioritura ideata dalla coreografa Elisa Spina insieme alle danzatrici Valeria Alvarado Mejia e Olimpia Fortuni. Sempre nell’ambito di Carne, vanno in scena Metamorphosis del performer e coreografo Carlo Massari / C&C Company, Paesaggio d’interni del collettivo Balletto Civile e The idea of you di Francesco Collavino. Altri spettacoli vedono protagonisti di due diverse serate la compagnia Kepler-452 con Nicola Borghesi in Gli altri. Indagine sui nuovissimi mostri; e l’attore Alberto Astorri con un omaggio al poeta e slavista Angelo Maria Ripellino, Sinfonietta alcolica, spettacolo che sarà aperto da un prologo curato dal ricercatore e critico teatrale Sergio Lo Gatto. Infine, spazio anche alla musica con il progetto Ada Flocco 4tet, dedicato all’esecuzione di alcuni brani della tradizione jazz. La prima settimana si apre martedì 20 giugno con il reportage sonoro Voci di donne del collettivo di giornalisti freelance FADA e della compagnia LeNotti, un percorso in voce e musica che racconta l’Iraq attraverso le storie e le vite di donne che lottano e hanno lottato per i propri diritti e per amore. C’è Amina che riporta com’è vivere in quella terra a quindici anni dall’invasione americana; Amena invece narra la storia del suo amore che non fece mai più ritorno; Rajaa condivide l’esperienza nel suo studio nella clinica Shahrazad e del Forum delle Giornaliste Irachene; e poi ancora Latiza, Demetria e Robyn, drag queen di Beirut. Tutte narrano il conflitto iracheno e gli anni seguenti, privando il racconto di ogni gerarchia del dolore e categoria etnica o religiosa. Sono dottoresse, avvocate, attiviste, madri; sono sunnite, sciite, cristiane, curde: a unirle un dolore capace di trasformarsi in coraggiosi e importanti gesti di resistenza. La programmazione prosegue mercoledì 21 giugno con Metamorphosis. Atti di metamorfosi contemporanea del coreografo e danzatore Carlo Massari di C&C Company. La performance è l’incipit di un percorso di ricerca triennale site-specific attorno al concetto di trasformazione e indaga le alterazioni fisiche e spirituali dell’essere nel sottile confine che separa l’uomo dalla bestia, il corpo dalla mente. Partendo dall’idea di uomo come animale pensante e dotato di una coscienza individuale, questo viene denudato e messo in relazione con i suoi istinti, le paure che rendono impotenti, i suoi lati più bestiali, la pura verità del corpo. Il lavoro prende avvio dall’istante in cui tutto diviene il contrario di tutto, il momento in cui non ci si riconosce più, ma d’improvviso si sentono le vene attraversate da nuova linfa, un nuovo io a cui abbandonarsi senza troppo giudizio. Al termine dello spettacolo è in programma un incontro con Carlo Massari a cura di Carmelo Zapparrata, giornalista e critico di danza. E infine giovedì 22 giugno va in scena Molto dolore per nulla dell’attrice e autrice Luisa Borini, un racconto intimo e ironico, tra la profondità del monologo e la leggerezza della stand-up, dedicato al tema della dipendenza affettiva. Si narra degli amori troppo amati di una donna e del suo dolore attraversato, da perdonarsi e ringraziare, perché è anche merito suo se ora guarda a ciò che è stato con un sorriso divertito e tenero. «Molto dolore per nulla è la cronaca di una fatica, - scrive l’autrice - quella che si fa per crescere, per smarcarsi dai modelli di riferimento e per imparare a rispettarsi per come si è. È uno sguardo sulla pazienza che si impara ad avere quando cambiamo di continuo senza mai riconoscerci, quando il nostro corpo si trasforma e rimangono i segni delle smagliature a ricordarci quante volte abbiamo vomitato per l’angoscia di una telefonata che non sarebbe mai arrivata, ad essere fieri di quelle cicatrici e a non aver paura di mostrarle». La seconda settimana prosegue con Paesaggi d’interni di Balletto Civile in scena martedì 27 giugno; mentre mercoledì 28 è la volta di Sinfonietta alcolica di Alberto Astorri, preceduto da un prologo su Angelo Maria Ripellino a cura di Sergio Lo Gatto, ricercatore e critico teatrale; e infine giovedì 29 The idea of you di Francesco Collavino... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

KATHERINE BARRELL AND ALBERTO FREZZA FIND A NEW SENSE OF PURPOSE – AND DESTINY – JUST BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS IN ‘A GODWINK CHRISTMAS: MIRACLE OF LOVE’ A NEW ORIGINAL PREMIERING DECEMBER 11, ON HALLMARK MOVIES & MYSTERIES

From Executive Producer Kathie Lee Gifford, Based on the Godwinks Book Series

STUDIO CITY, CA – November 30, 2021 – Katherine Barrell (“Good Witch,” “Wynonna Earp”) and Alberto Frezza (“Station 19,” “The Flight Attendant”) take part in a yuletide volunteer experience that takes their lives in a surprising direction in “A Godwink Christmas: Miracle of Love,” a new original premiering Saturday, December 11 (10 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as part of the network’s annual “Miracles of Christmas” programming event – your home for the holiday.

Now that Joy (Barrell) has completed her education, she’s ready to fulfill her dream of becoming a nurse and follow in her late mother’s footsteps. Back at home before the holiday and with no job on the horizon, Joy’s interest is piqued by a volunteer opportunity out of town. There, she meets Eric (Frezza), who is also at a crossroads. As they become immersed in the effort to build a new home for a family at Christmas, Joy and Eric both find a new sense of purpose. Through a series of coincidences – or, Godwinks – and a medical miracle, they begin to believe in destiny.

“A Godwink Christmas: Miracle of Love” is from Two 4 the Money Media Inc. Kim Arnott, Robyn Snyder, Ivan Hayden, Suzanne Arnott, Juliet Smith, Michael Shepard, Fernando Szew, Tom Mazza, Dan Angel, SQuire Rushnell, Louise DuArt and Kathie Lee Gifford are executive producers. Dawn Knight and Jerry Pender serve as supervising producers. Kim Arnott is producer. Heather Hawthorn-Doyle directed from a script by John Wierick and Jamie Pachino. Based on the Godwinks book series by SQuire Rushnell and Louise DuArt

Emerald Streams, 2021 edition:

Les Misérables

I'd love to invite you to my Les Misérables stream this weekend! The video I chose is a very special one - it features the full principal 25th Anniversary Tour cast and was filmed during the London run of the tour, at the Barbican, where the show first premiered in the UK 25 years earlier.

The cast is phenomenal, featuring legends John Owen-Jones and Earl Carpenter as Jean Valjean and Javert, respectively, as well as 25th Anniversary concert Cosette Katie Hall and 'current' West End Valjean Jon Robyns as Enjolras. The video quality is pretty great, we can count ourselves lucky that this recording was released last year.

All in all, a must-see - for all fans of the show and those who are still waiting for the perfect opportunity to check it out!

When?

Saturday, 6 March 2021

9pm CET / 8pm GMT / 3pm EST

hello! just popping in to say hi; the wolfwalkers wiki is an unreliable source for anything wolfwalkers related (i was an early contributor to it before the film was released in the states, and the creator is very, very biased towards fanon and ships). it has been confirmed by both of the directors that the girls are not stepsisters at the end of the movie and in some interviews even encourage their relationship being seen through a queer lenses alongside interact with many users who ship them. there is also no official age given for them either. just sucks to see misinformation for them out there ;(

okay. I personally feel uncomfortable shipping them at their present ages because mebh is clearly a lot younger then robyn, although I do think there's enough space to arrive at the interpretation that mebh might potentially have a crush on robyn (robyn mostly came across like she had a very elder-sisterly drive to protect mebh). but I'm still more comfortable with people shipping luca and alberto from Luca because they come across like they're pretty much the same age although both stories have lots of queer subtext, especially to do with finding the humanity in the monstrous.
