CLIP OF THE DAY: Picasso takes Tate and... Ballet?



Hello Clippers! Hope you are all safe and sound back from all the fun at Carvanal in Rio and President day holidays in New York. Todays CLIP of the day is close to my heart: one of my favorite painters, my dance, and loved art space all in one: Picasso, Ballet and Tate Britain. Only a few days now to Europe's most anticipated exhibition - Picasso and Modern British Art. For the ones who don't know, in the summer of 1919 Picasso was busy in London sketching visionary costumes for the Ballets Russes premiere of the one and only Le Tricorne. How can you not love that...? This is the thing about very known people, just when you think you've learned everything possible there is to know about someone as spoken as Mr. Pablo P., it seems he still manages to surprise us. A never seen side of the Spanish genious and unique show at London's  epic artsy hall space which will be buzzing with life as English National Ballet animates Picasso and Modern British Art with ballet classes, workshops, rehearsals and performances, where you get to watch, sketch and even join in over the course of the week on a rare insight into how English National Ballet rehearses repertoires and creates commissions. Even if you don't share any of my 3 passions above, take a chance and let the unexpected inspire you; in the end it still lives where you least expect. Well done Pablo...! Gracias xx I.
