Opening of Beyond Borders

THE EXHIBITION OPENED on Thursday evening, September 10th, and will continue until the 26th. The opening was wonderful. Lots of people, food, good feelings, and a super dance performance choreographed by Kokoro's Barbara Bourget.

This is the first opportunity I've had to send you a note to tell you
what a superb job I think you did on the Oleana opening. It was by
far the most sophisticated opening I've attended, with the beautiful
exhibit, splendid food, truly sensational dance (I loved that the
dancers were simultaneously sensuous and awkward---so effective), and the heart felt speeches. You are to be thoroughly applauded for a job exceptionally well done. -- Cher

Oleana is really in Vancouver!

Oleana's Solveig Hisdal, Signe Aarhus, and Kolbjorn Valestrand are here in Vancouver! Kolbjorn and Signe have already cycled around Stanley Park. Solvieg has fitted Molly and Caroline's dresses for the performance on Thursday. We have started to dress the mannequins. It has been a very busy day!! A morning swim was traded out for a good breakfast, a check of the Pendulum, and a quick trip up the sea to sky to Lyons Bay, and a wonderful lunch at a sea-side restaurant in Dundurave. They are loving it and I am loving having them here!!!
