Odd experience last night at the Paris Opera Ballet. Premiere of "Paquita" cancelled 35 minutes after the planned curtain time, with the audience seated. Not an actual strike, but some dancers refused to work nonetheless after demands related to pay for hair & makeup time weren't met.

Aujourd'hui à la mairie du 6e arrondissement de Paris : un salon dédié aux autrices. Si vous y passez, venez parler danse (en essai & BD) !
