A week in Akleriah life

We've had a fabulous week with many a fabulous personality. We met up with Clodagh, Bettina and Jaime at Prince Albert - a local shabby chic styled venue with a surprisingly interesting decor. We talked collaborating, hopefully in July, with Jaime and Bettina, random nonsence and the recently deceased Alexander McQueen. We had a lovely time at Anna's house drinking cherry cocktails followed by a slightly hangover morning and lunch with Clodagh. Anna decided to starve diet yet again but did not succeed instead opting to do the famous 'cake diet' that keeps her in shape so well.

We blew bubbles day and night (literally) outside and inside, on the streets, on the stations, in shopping centres... Everywhere! It's really fun! Later on in the week we acquired some really large bubble sword things which were even more entertaining..

We went to see Omari an amazing break dancer who has also been trained in classical ballet at the Young Actors Theatre,we are hoping that he will perform at our next event. Our gorgeous Nino was playing at Shunt this weekend, what I think they call 'jam' in musician language. We went to see him and Nahum play. There we met the sweetest David and had a scrumptious time meeting some great people, some of whom we hope to work with in the future. And of course there were bubbles!
On Saturday we carried furniture for Anna's degree show - Lenka carried 3 chairs at the same time! We had a little picnik on New Cross road because the furniture was pretty heavy... but at least the day was nice.

On Sunday we had a great rehearsal of music for the upcoming event with some new musicians Asiere, Eiko, Souleymane. They rehearsed for many hours with Nino, while Jason took some video clips.The music is sounding gentle and poetic, like a blend of cherry blossom and mimosa - an intriguing melody that occassionally flows to the Far East and sometimes to the clublands of Ibiza with sudden folk references.

The highlight of the week was Lenka and Eva's Birthday on Monday. Eva hosted a 'grass and bubbles' themed party at her flat while Daria made delishious mohito's and 'Daria's own'coffee mix. It was very nice to dance on fresh grass and some twigs, definitely added an earthy feel to the event. Lenka and Evas aging was much softened by a cosy atmosphere of cheesecakes and gin. Happy Birthday girls!
