[Guy Cools] degrees1964, Antwerp (BE) After having trained as a dramaturge, Guy Cools became involved with the new developments in dance in Flanders from the 1980's, initially as a dance critic and from 1990 onwards as theatre and dance director of Arts Centre Vooruit in Ghent. As vice-president of the Dance Council he contributed to the cultural policy towards dance of the Flemish Community. He curated dance events in Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Venice and Montreal.

As they duo travels they incorporate into the show their experiences from different cities they visited. In addition to Antwerpen, the show also draws from such places as Vienna and Montreal. And once the pair leaves Nanaimo, the Harbour City will also be incorporated into future acts. So if they perform Repeating Distance in Europe, Nanaimo will still be part of the show. \"We try to create relationships between the inside of the performance space and the outside, with this beautiful nature,\" said [Guy Cools]. 'Repeating Distance,' one of Crimson Coast Dance's productions, will take place on May 4 & 5 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Falconer Books in Port Place Mall or by calling 250-716-3230.

Every city, every location on earth, has its own distinctive aura and its own history. The challenge that Lin Snelling and Guy Cools, an amazing pair of contemporary artists from Montreal, have set for themselves is to capture this essence of place through dance and spoken word. The audience sat on benches against opposing walls while the artists used the entire expanse. Even the natural environment performed on cue. After Snelling struck a pose that was amusingly and unmistakably that of a deer, Cools flung open the pavilion doors to reveal actual deer posing casually outside. Lin Snelling is an amazing dancer who can make the most challenging movements and acts of balance look both impeccable and effortless while Cools, as both an actor and writer, brings an unusual dimension of creative imagination to the project.

\"It's very simple - it's a very old form of storytelling,\" [Lin Snelling] said. \"You get to see what someone else is seeing,\" Snelling said. \"You pay attention to things you wouldn't have.\" \"Each time we go we keep collecting details,\" Snelling said. \"It's like a book, really, that's in our bodies.\"

\"When we do get together, and I don't want this to sound corny,\" said [Rick Scott], \"It's an organic experience that takes on a life of its own.\" \"That's right, we'll perform at some festival somewhere and then someone will have heard we had reunited and before you know it, we've been invited to do 10 more festivals,\" said [Joe Mock]. The tour is to promote their first children's recording Pumkids - - Tuneful Tales for Kids and Kin. The group is scheduled to perform at the Vancouver Island Children's Festival in Nanaimo on Monday and Tuesday. Pied Pumkin will also perform at Errington's War Memorial Hall on Friday.

\"Skiing off-piste in the next few days is an act of recklessness,\" ran the headline in Swiss newspaper Le Matin on Boxing Day, attracting online comments such as \"stop the massacre\" and \"I can't understand why off-piste skiing is still tolerated\". One suggested skis might carry a warning like those on cigarette packets - \"off-piste skiing kills\". An article in another Swiss daily, Le Temps, ended with a bad-taste joke doing the rounds in the Alps about the ski patrols' practice of making slopes safe by bombing them to set off any potential avalanches: \"The best bomb of all is still a Brit.\" With all that in mind, [Guy Willett] is exactly the person you want to be skiing with. I'd come to Chamonix for a weekend of backcountry skiing with Dream Guides, the company Guy runs with his partner Kenton Cool. While the silver badge worn by all mountain guides has a certain aura, Guy and Kenton are at another level - celebrities of the mountain world, with strings of first ascents, descents and new routes to their names. In September, Guy made what is believed to be the first complete ski descent of Manaslu in Nepal, at 8,165m the eighth-highest mountain in the world. Kenton was the first Briton to ski down an 8,000m peak, but is best known as one of the world's top Everest mountaineers. He's climbed it seven times, more than any other European, and led Sir Ranulph Fiennes to the summit in May last year. For ski and climbing fanatics, going out with Kenton and Guy is not far off a Manchester United-nut going for a kick-around with Giggs and Rooney. To be honest, I was a little star-struck, but thankfully both are determinedly down to earth. Take Kenton's explanation of how he got into guiding: \"Well I was working on a job painting a power station near Barry Island. There was nothing to do in the evening, so we went to a pub in Llantwit Major and got drunk. My mate bet me two bottles of Scotch that I wouldn't apply to be a mountain guide, so that was that. . .\"
