Article: Gabe Stone Shayer Is Creating an African Narrative Ballet in a Locale That’s Not Only Dreamy, but Informing the Work Itself
Date: April 23, 2021
By: Lydia Murray
American Ballet Theatre soloist Gabe Stone Shayer's latest project will inspire some serious travel envy. From March to April of this year, Shayer has been an artist in residence at Palm Heights Grand Cayman—a resort in the Cayman Islands—where he is choreographing an African-themed narrative ballet, performing solos that will become part of the upcoming piece, collaborating with Caymanian artists and teaching dance classes to guests.
The hotel's residency program is designed to cultivate artists, athletes and writers with ties to or interests in the Caribbean, aligning with Shayer's goals to honor his African heritage and increase the visibility of Black stories in ballet. Due to the islands' strict COVID-19 safety protocols and low number of cases, he's been able to safely create in an environment reminiscent of the pre-pandemic era.
As only the second ballet dancer to participate in the program—the first being San Francisco Ballet corps member Kimberly Marie Olivier, who had told Shayer about the opportunity—his feedback will help develop the residency for future dance artists. During his mandatory 15-day quarantine upon arrival, Palm Heights built a studio for him and future dance residents.
Dance Magazine spoke with Shayer about his new work and what it's been like to live and create in the Cayman Islands.
Lydia Murray: How did you decide to pursue this residency?
Gabe Stone Shayer: I saw an opportunity to create a space for performing artists to have a concentrated residency experience. Besides helping develop it, it was a perfect opportunity to start workshopping a bunch of choreography and a bunch of ideas that otherwise, especially during COVID, would be very difficult to find the studio space, the time, the works to really curate what I was trying to make happen.
Lydia Murray: What impact has living and working in that environment had on your creative process?
Gabe Stone Shayer: What's vastly different is I'm on a very small island that has very good control over their COVID protocol, so it's practically COVID-free. You get tested before you get on the plane, you have to get tested off the plane, and you have to get tested right after your quarantine ends before you can leave your room. The protocol is extreme, but it makes for a very free environment. We're as close to normalcy as you can get. I have the freedom to not think about this extra hurdle of not being able to get close to someone, or not being able to use a studio without this, that and the other thing. It gives me the expansive feeling of being able to reach anything that I'm putting myself out there for.
Lydia Murray: Can you give an overview of what you're working on?
Gabe Stone Shayer: For a while, I've been thinking about the idea of this project to honor African and Black narratives through classical ballet. I feel like ballet needs to do a million different things. One, of course, is to update things. Be socially conscious, and hopefully be sustainable one day in terms of costuming. But a big thing is championing Black and brown cultures and narratives through stories that people haven't seen before on a ballet stage, or in the proscenium of a theater like the Metropolitan Opera House.
I had the idea to either shape an African narrative, or make up an African narrative, or take a piece of folklore and turn it into some sort of fairy-tale piece that shows the beauty, the strength, the elegance of African cultures—specifically Ghanaian culture, because that's what I'm closest to. I'm part Ghanaian, and it's what I know. But hopefully in the future, expanding that into other cultures, as well.
Lydia Murray: What has it been like to be a Black American artist of Ghanaian heritage, creating an African narrative ballet in a location with such a large Black population? Does that have any impact on your mindset or anything else about creating this work?
Gabe Stone Shayer: I think it does. I'm really excited about it because, for me, it feels like the first time I'm going to be doing something that is in the vocabulary of ballet, that is a story about my ancestry or connected to my ancestry, and really shows more colors to ballet than just the German, the French, the Italian stories. It gives way to other narratives that will hopefully involve and make a new community interested in watching ballet and seeing themselves more so than just by face, but by story and by content, as well.
It's great to see what inspires the people who are here, and what the culture derives from. It's a very, very, very mixed island in terms of culture. It's very international. But a lot of the people here have some lineage from West Africa, which is serendipitous, because a lot of these African stores or places where textiles are made lean towards West African and Ghanaian.
I've been essentially curating my costume with a woman who makes adinkra symbols. It's a Ghanaian symbol that represents different strengths within people. One symbol may represent being cunning, or power, or strength, or love. These symbols are, a lot of times, printed on cloth or clothing to signify what you identify with. I found two textiles that this woman made with a power symbol on them, and made them into my costume.
Lydia Murray: You've mentioned wanting to fuse ballet with fashion and pop culture, which you've already done with creators like Alicia Keys and Dapper Dan. In addition to working with the textile designer, are there any interdisciplinary collaborations we should expect to see here in music, costuming or otherwise?
Gabe Stone Shayer: I'm working with a few designers who are under the umbrella of Vogue Talents. It's a program for up-and-coming designers and artists and collaborators to get together. I met them through a mutual contact at Vogue Italia, and they sent me down here with their clothing. The brand is called Corban Harper.
I consider cuisine an art form, and displaying this West African work is also a part of a larger evening. I talked with the executive chef here, Jake Tyler Brodsky. He's done a lot of research into what West African food is and how to shape it for his menu, and, in turn, we created a collaborative evening where people were able to learn about West African culture through all of their senses by tasting new foods and watching me dance.
Lydia Murray: On The Dance Edit Podcast, you mentioned wanting to make a ballet about Mansa Musa [a 14th-century king of Mali] or the orishas [Yoruba deities]. Will we see any of those themes in this piece?
Gabe Stone Shayer: For this work, I thought that I would want to do a bit more in-depth research before putting a real name and face to what I'm doing. So I've just made it about an African king/chief. It's more vague; I could play with it a bit more. The narrative of the solo is of a young king coming to power and having to take control of his kingdom, but with the humility that he has, it's daunting to take the reins. But he fully leans into it.
Lydia Murray: What are your plans to present this work in the future?
I'm planning to workshop more of this piece through the coming year. I am probably using my nonprofit company, Creative Genesis, to film dances on location again when I'm back in America, and to workshop more of the ballet and flesh out the storylines for the rest of the characters. I'll hopefully work with The Guggenheim at some point to do Works & Process. And hit all of those points in New York to present the work and find people who want to see it come to fruition.

FAQ
In General
Do you take requests? My guy, without requests, this blog will go dry very quickly. We are high maintenance and require a lot of attention.
Will you write all requests that you receive? We reserve the right not to write a request if we don’t vibe with it. We will explain why we won’t, and whining won’t change our minds. Otherwise we will do our absolute best to see that all requests get written.
What if I don’t like something in your fics? If you see something wrong in our fics, feel free to let us know politely. If you are rude, we will make a note of what annoyed you and we will feature it prominently in our following fics until you (or someone nicer than you) asks nicely for us to change it. If it is a trigger we won’t do that, obviously, but we will do our best to tag so that doesn’t happen. Don’t read things if they have a trigger warning for something that triggers you. I shouldn’t have to say it, yet here we are. If you dislike the characterization, we can open up a dialogue and maybe we’ll write you one with a characterization that you prefer. Or maybe we’ll tell you to shove it. Depends on how things go. If you dislike the things we write about (e.g. Death Eaters from Harry Potter), then don’t f***ing read that fic. Blacklist it, whatever. We know why and how they are problematic, we just dgaf. It’s for fun.
Why don’t you have a masterlist/other Tumblr things? We are new to this whole writing thing, Midnight to Tumblr in general, and Serpentine has never written her own post before, so be patient. We are learning this whole thing as we go, and it was meant as more of an experiment than a job anyway. We will do our best to make a masterlist and make the blog easy to search, but it has a learning curve, so don’t be surprised if we don’t manage right away (or ever)
Do you have a tag list? We could try?
How often do you update? Depends on how much love and attention we get. If we get a lot of requests, we’ll be doing a lot of writing, Real Life™ allowing.
Can I reblog? If you make sure our names are still on it, you do what you like, my guy.
Can I tag you in things? Can I give you an internet hug? Ofc. Remember what I said about attention?
Can I message you? If it is for requests, we’d prefer you keep it in the asks, but if you wanna say something, then sure. Keep it PG for Serpentine’s virgin eyes tho. (Serpentine can deal with it, don’t be a wuss - Midnight) (You’re a wanker - Serpentine)
What don’t you write? Incest, non-con, A/B/O (bc Midnight will die), m-preg, underage anything ever, etc. Just keep it level guys. Don’t make it weird.
What happens with any original fiction that you post? I won’t post much of it, and it won’t be anything that I ever have intentions on making into A Thing™ so it’s basically just like our fanfics, go ahead and reblog if you feel just keep our names attached. Also, try not to write anything based off of it or anything like that, but if it sparks something, you do you. We’re reasonably chill until you’re a dick. (Then we’re chillier than a frost giant’s cold shoulder - Midnight)
What happens if I want to be a prick about your writing while on anon? Come at me, bro.
What types of requests do you take? We’re going to try to have a prompts list, or borrow some from fellow writing accounts that are okay with others using their lists, but prompts that you come up with are definitely great! Imagines, multi-chap fics, one-shots, drabbles, headcanons, it’s all fair game.
Serpentine
Name/Nickname: Serpentine, Holly, Andy
Age: 18
Pronouns: she/her/My Lady
How would you describe yourself: I would not
Are requests open: Yes
What do you like writing most: Fluff. I love it when everyone is peaceful.
What do you like writing least: Character bashing. Sometimes I have to for the sake of the plot, but it hurts.
Who do you write for: Marvel - Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Loki, Thor, Dr. Strange, Clint Barton, Pietro Maximoff (he didn’t die hmmm nope), Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal only), Brock Rumlow (don’t say anything Midnight, I know he’s a dick, leave me alone), Anatoly Ranskahov, Vladimir Ranskahov. Harry Potter - Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Charlie Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Draco Malfoy, Antonin Dolohov, Thorfinn Rowle, Rodolphus Lestrange (although I characterize him as fatherly more than anything), Rabastan Lestrange (although don’t expect mental stability), Fenrir Greyback, Corban Yaxley, Evan Rosier, Lucius Malfoy (if we go AU), Lucissa (Narcissa Black nee Malfoy + Lucius Malfoy), Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Regulus Black, Jily (James + Lily), Sily (which is my take on Sirius + Lily, though mostly they are platonic sometimes I think hmm). I have a lot of my own personal headcanons for nearly all of these characters because I have spent many years of my life ‘living’ in the Wizarding World when I should have been doing my homework, so if something doesn’t vibe for you, I apologise, but I am very specific about my Harry Potter.
POV & Other Characters: These can be OC or reader, platonic and romantic or unpaired accepted. For Harry Potter, I can also write them as Hermione Granger (like most HP fics are tbh). As for other characters, it’s all negotiable, but with Harry Potter fandom Slytherin characters are much more likely to get the OK bc I’m House biased (Go Snakes). The ones marked as couples are only written as couples, so don’t try to make me pair dear James Potter with anyone other than his Lily.
How long does it take to write a request: If I’m inspired, maybe an hour or two. Now when I post it...
Open to ask memes: Absolutely the hell yes. I love talking about myself.
Special Rules: I do not write smut (yet, bc I am innocent in the ways of the flesh), but I will yeet those to Midnight and I’ll do my best to take any other requests and if y’all wanna drop nasty imagines into the ask box or something, we’re all ears (eyes?). I will write poly ships, though again I reserve the right to decide how (e.g. M/M or nah) and there will be no sin.
Midnight
1. Name/Nickname: Midnight, Kai, (Barnes)
2. Age: 19
3. Pronouns: she/her/Soldat
4. How would you describe yourself: I... am basically a less intimidating Winter Soldier (memory problems, depression, anxiety) and an MCU genderbent Loki because I can be a sneaky little shit
5. Are requests open: YEET
6. What do you like writing most: Fluff. Any time I get to make scary assassins do domestic things... I am there for that
7. What do you like writing least: Death. Why y’all gotta do me dirty like that? There’s more than enough in the MCU alone guys. Can’t we just pretend we live in the Everybody Lives AU?
8. Who do you write for: Marvel - Loki Odinson, Thor Odinson, Tony Stark, Doctor Stephen Strange, Bucky Barnes, Peter Quill, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanov, T’Challa, Peter Parker (aged up), Pietro Maximoff, Wade Wilson (Deadpool), Gamora DC - Jason Todd, Bruce Wayne, Diana Prince, Clark Kent, Connor Kent, Dick Grayson, Steve Trevor, Tim Drake, Wally West, Barry Allen, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Damian Wayne (aged up), Kaldur’ahm, Jaime Reyes, Bart Allen (aged up), Roy Harper (if you want YJ’s Red Arrow, please specify, otherwise my default is Arsenal), Hal Jordan Assassin’s Creed - Altair, Ezio
9. POV & other characters: I prefer reader inserts, however, if you would like an OC I would recommend naming the OC with a nickname so it makes it nicer for other readers to enjoy it. I will do specific ships if I ship them or I know enough about the ship. (eg WonderTrevor, SuperWonder, Stony, Stucky, IronStrange etc) I am also pretty okay with writing smut, but I may not be able to for specific characters/ships due to lack of experience in writing the sin, lol. (and yes, I will take your smut requests for Serpentine’s characters, and work with her to achieve the correct characterization, so long as time permits us to work on it in a timely fashion)
10. How long does it take to write a request: Depends on how busy I am, the alignment of the stars, the weather… jk, in truth, I can be very busy and also have to manage my own health so it can be from a half hour (if I’m really inspired) to up to a week or two. (I will try my best to turn out work in a decent time though, and if I have to ask Serpentine for help I will)
11. Special Rules: Already covered, I guess? Just bear with me on getting things out on time.
Please note; most of this was written by Serpentine at 3 am, I (Midnight), only wrote my own FAQs, also at 3 am. If none of this makes sense, that would be why. Serpentine rarely makes sense without supervision, so feel free to ask for clarification if the wording is awkward.

Every Baby Name We Could Possibly Think Of
Naming your baby is a big decision, and with endless options, it can also be a difficult one. Whether you're going the traditional route or want something more unique (if so, read this first!) it's helpful to have a little, or a lot, of inspiration. Ahead, you'll find nearly every baby name we could think of (close to 1,000!). These aren't just random names we found in a book or concocted ourselves - they're almost all monikers we've heard being used, or we actually know someone who goes by the name. If we missed any, tell us in the comments!

¿Puede la granja de los Nats producir más estrellas?
Los Nacionales ganaron la Serie Mundial 2019 y tienen el mismo núcleo para las próximas temporadas … con una gran excepción. El tercera base Anthony Rendon ahora es miembro de los Ángeles después de un esfuerzo astronómico el año pasado.
Llenar en la esquina caliente es una cosa. Los Nacionales se tragaron un grupo de veteranos que probablemente pueden contener las cosas según sea necesario. Los enfoques de combinación y combinación bien concebidos pueden funcionar; los Nats no tienen por qué preocuparse de no haber podido retener a Rendon o traer un reemplazo por orden de Kris Bryant y Nolan Arenado.
Confiar en pelotones y recorrer en bicicleta a los veteranos es una buena estrategia … hasta cierto punto. Es difícil hacer pelotones en todo el campo debido a las limitaciones de la lista. La producción suficiente y asequible funciona mejor cuando se hace como un cumplido a una flota de artistas de nivel estrella.
Así es esencialmente cómo la organización de DC llegó a la tierra prometida el año pasado. El sistema agrícola de los Nacionales rara vez se ha clasificado entre los mejores del juego en las últimas temporadas. Sin embargo, el equipo ha mantenido resultados generales excepcionales desde su ruptura en 2012, con algunos picos y valles, pero todas las temporadas ganadoras, debido en gran parte a su capacidad para promover o fichar a nuevos artistas estrella. Incluso cuando Ian Desmond, Wilson Ramos, Jordan Zimmermann y Bryce Harper partieron, el club trajo a Max Scherzer y Patrick Corban a través de la agencia libre … y, lo que es más importante, se graduó de Trea Turner y Juan Soto. Ahora, con Rendon fuera, e incluso con Stephen Strasburg retenido, la perspectiva a medio plazo de los Nats puede depender de la capacidad de encontrar otra pieza central para entregar una producción que valga mucho más que su salario.
Para los Nats, la gran pregunta no es si tienen a alguien para igualar la producción de Rendon en la tercera base en 2020; es dudoso que lo hagan. Más bien, se trata de si pueden preparar otra estrella de alto nivel para ocupar el lugar de Rendón como un incondicional de varios años con costos controlados.
Esa es una manera larga de decir: relajarse en el pobre Carter Kieboom. El principal prospecto de los Nacionales podría ser el heredero del tercer trono de Rendon, pero no es la única esperanza aquí. Kieboom es un talento emocionante en el plato, pero tiene solo 22 años de edad, luchó un poco el año pasado en las mayores y aún no ha dominado la posición de tercera base a pesar de llegar como un campocorto.
Sin duda, el escenario ideal es que Kieboom explote en la escena. Está listo para una prueba completa, aunque el resultado sigue siendo incierto. Pero en realidad, es posible que no sea el mejor candidato para entrar al vacío. Rendon fue durante mucho tiempo el coprotagonista de bajo perfil de Harper. Quizás Víctor Robles, el ex prospecto mejor clasificado de la organización, puede ser lo mismo para Juan Soto.
En el caso de Robles, ya es un jugador valioso de la MLB, y apenas tiene cien días más que Kieboom. Robles recorrió el jardín central durante 155 juegos el año pasado, con un rendimiento de alrededor del 10 por ciento por debajo de un jugador ofensivo promedio de la liga. Pero fue un excelente defensor y corredor de bases.
¿Qué tan bueno era Robles sin el bate en la mano? Mucho para compensar el esfuerzo regular. Fangraphs lo calificó como un sólido regular en 2.5 WAR en su campaña de novato. Pero Baseball-Reference, que depende de DRS en lugar de UZR, quedó impresionado por el trabajo con guantes de Robles y le atribuye más de cuatro victorias por encima del reemplazo.
De todos modos, hay un buen piso para trabajar. Cualquier mejora en el plato, y mucho menos una verdadera ruptura, podría convertir a Robles en una estrella certificada. Pero también hay razones para la inquietud. Aunque lanzó 17 pelotas largas, Robles solo logró una escasa tasa de golpes duros del 23.0% (4% inferior en toda la liga) y llevó un .292 xwOBA que quedó por debajo de su .317 wOBA. Dado que se enfrentó a preguntas sobre la calidad del contacto en los menores, particularmente después de regresar de una lesión importante en la muñeca, es justo preguntarse si Robles realmente hará mucho más daño en el plato.
Si bien la mayoría de los mejores prospectos de los Nats son lanzadores, existe otra posibilidad de interés: el mediocampista Luis García. Se encontró con algunas dificultades el año pasado en Double-A, pero lo hizo mientras jugaba a ese nivel elevado a los 19 años de edad. García estaba llamando la atención esta primavera, con una salida de .417 / .462 / .542 en 27 apariciones en el plato. Las probabilidades de que se convierta en cualquier cosa que se aproxime a una estrella por orden de Rendon son bajas, pero su techo probablemente abarca algunas actuaciones de nivel All-Star.
Quizás sea demasiado decir que los Nacionales necesitan absolutamente otra estrella joven. Pero representaría de lejos el camino más claro para volver a la cima del montón Este de la Liga Nacional después de dos temporadas persiguiendo a los Bravos. Los Nacionales no pueden asumir que su rotación costosa y excelente (pero no especialmente juvenil) será tan buena como lo ha sido. El bullpen es un signo de interrogación perenne. Y hay tiempos compartidos veteranos repartidos en gran parte del resto de la lista.
Una ruptura de Robles o Kieboom, o, en el futuro cercano, García, potencialmente le daría a los Nats un trío de estrellas de jugadores de posición para ayudar a mantener la ventana de contención abierta durante una década completa o más. O, tal vez, dos de esos jóvenes pueden instalarse como excelentes clientes habituales, controlados por los costos, que podrían ser tan buenos como una sola estrella. De todos modos, el punto sigue siendo: la lista y la granja más pesadas de los Nacionales necesitan anotar algunos golpes más. Si eso no sucede, es justo preguntarse si el sistema de granja relativamente delgado será suficiente para apoyar a un equipo ganador durante mucho más tiempo, dados los costos cada vez mayores de las estrellas del equipo (incluso en relación con una nómina considerable) y la agencia libre pendiente de otras partes significativas de la lista después de la campaña 2020.

Your Tuesday Morning Roundup
First, hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day Weekend.
Now to the Phillies, who had a very good weekend in Milwaukee, winning two of three against the Brewers. They finished their seven-game NL Central road trip going 4-3.
Friday was the closest game of the entire series with the Phils scoring a run in six of the first seven innings and Vince Velasquez getting four strikeouts in two innings of relief work in a 6-4 win. Bryce Harper drove in two runs, one on a sac fly and the other on a double, while Rhys Hoskins hit his 12th home run of the season.
Jake Arrieta threw eight phenomenal innings on Saturday, giving up only two runs on five hits with eight strikeouts as the Phillies did their damage early in a 7-2 win. They also added three insurance runs in the ninth with homers from Hoskins and JT Realmuto.
But the bats went away Sunday as Brandon Woodruff and Milwaukee gave up one hit and one run, an Andrew Knapp (!) home run in the sixth, as the Brewers scored four in the fifth to take a 9-1 win. Woodruff had 10 strikeouts, while Zach Eflin gave up three runs on six hits with four strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings.
The Phils return home today to host the Cardinals. First pitch is at 7:05 PM on NBC Sports Philadelphia. Adam Wainwright takes on Nick Pivetta, who’s been called back up from Triple A. Velasquez will stay in the bullpen. By the way, keep an eye out for a surging Cesar Hernandez. And don’t bet on the Phillies now.
The Roundup:
There was nothing really going on besides the Phillies. We’re reaching the dead period in sports.
Donovan McNabb thinks he’s a Hall of Famer. He ain’t.
Chris Long admitting to using marijuana should not be a big deal.
Flyers forward Corban Knight is headed to Russia:

Sejam bem vindos a mais um ano letivo em Hogwarts East High. Para os alunos, uma boa volta as aulas e um em especial lembrete para aqueles que estão terminando sua jornada conosco que aproveitem o máximo nossos recursos para a garantia de um futuro extraordinário. Para os funcionários, que continuem com seu desempenho pois são a garantia de excelência do colégio.
Atenciosamente,
Direção.
SLYTHERIN
Lana, sabemos o peso que Nicolau Alighieri carrega consigo junto com a grande responsabilidade de ter país que esperam muito dele por conta de seus empregos. No colégio queremos focar em seus sonhos, e em como podemos fazer desse colégio uma ferramenta para conseguir alcançar ou responder suas expectativas e não a que os outros possam esperar por conta de sua família.
Miri, é muito importante para o colégio quando pessoas como Harper Yaxley e sua família continuem a tradição de continuar no colégio é como se algumas famílias sempre estivessem conosco e isso cria um elo com a escola que nem pode ser descrito. O lado mais temperamental da menina sem dúvida é algo que queremos trabalhar durante esses últimos anos para poder ajudá-la a contornar essa fraqueza e fazê-la mais forte.
GRYFFINDOR
Esther, acreditamos que tendo Xanthippe Zummach entre nós é uma grande ganha para o colégio ainda mais ao ver como a garota consegue ser esforçada e dedicada. Não saberemos se a mudança da Beauxbatons será assim tão fácil, pois são realidades completamente diferentes, mas esperamos que sempre venha até nós para qualquer dúvida para ajudarmos em qualquer dúvida que possa ter.
Esther, nem tudo são mil maravilhas e é esse o universo que Everest Watson partilhou conosco, que nem sempre as coisas vão sair da maneira que esperávamos, mas nem por isso devemos deixar de acreditar que elas não vão acontecer. A situação em relação a sua irmã ainda é algo muito recente, e que tem feridas que não cicatrizaram. Faremos de tudo para tentar fazer essa ponte e melhorar a relação de ambas, afinal, sendo uma menina com um coração tão gentil não há por que continuar desse jeito.
FUNCIONÁRIOS
Mel, nós adoramos o quanto nossas campanhas para os estrangeiros conseguem cada dia mais alcançar mais pessoas diferentes e é essa nossa proposta para termos uma escola tão diversificada, e de ponta. Podendo trabalhar nas mais diferentes áreas, e por isso, que estamos tão animados em termos José Henrique Campana como mais um dos nossos novos estagiários já que acreditamos que ele pode contribuir muito para nossa comunidade.
Felipe, a dimensão de quem Corban Yaxley é, pode ser intrigante até mesmo para o jovem. De um lado temos um jovem que se mostrar protetor, até mesmo excessivamente, com sua irmã e com atitudes tendenciosas, e por outro um garoto extremamente culto e esforçado que chama a atenção dos professores por conta do seu talento. Quem realmente está dentro de Corban ainda pode ser um mistério que queremos desenvolver com o tempo.
Lana, sem dúvidas um dos professores mais animados e tranquilos do nosso corpo discente, William Martinez, sabe como amenizar o ambiente e fazer com que seus alunos estejam sempre animados e interessados em sua aula. É extremamente isso que buscamos em nossos professores. Que despertem o interesse e o brilho nos olhos de nossos pupilos. E é exatamente isso que William faz.
Felipe, um homem tão talentoso quanto Malcolm Hummel-Pierce sem dúvidas é uma figura que temos muito orgulho em ter em nosso corpo docente. Não somente por conta dos inúmeros prêmios em concursos, mas por conta de sua sensibilidade com a arte e com os alunos. É disso que nossos alunos precisam, e acreditamos que o homem consegue passar seus ensinamentos e experiencias de um modo que os inspira.

Your Friday Morning Roundup
Survive and advance.
Villanova hasn’t been the team we knew when they won their two national titles. But against an upstart Saint Mary’s team, they came out strong in the second half on a 12-3 run en route to a 61-57 win over the Gaels. The Wildcats trailed by two at halftime.
Phil Booth led the way with 20 points and six assists, while Eric Paschall had 14 points and six rebounds.
It might have been good that Nova trailed by two at the half. Barely anyone was there.
This was the sight at tip off of the Villanova St. Mary’s game. Security didn’t start letting people in until 12 minutes before game time at XL Center in Hartford, CT. Great scheduling by the NCAA @BarstoolNova @novainsider1985 @BarstoolReags #NovaNation pic.twitter.com/Szue1VkDCx
— whiteboyboogi (@ilove2millyrock) March 22, 2019
The afternoon session didn’t end until after 7. Security opened the doors for people around 7:30 for a 7:45ish tip.
Up next for the ‘Cats is a much tougher opponent in #3 seed Purdue Saturday night at 8:40 PM on TNT. The Boilermakers crushed Old Dominion 61-48.
As for another Philly school, who could be the next head coach of the Hawks?
The Roundup:
The Flyers kept their already slim playoff hopes alive with a 3-1 win over the Blackhawks in Chicago. Corban Knight, James van Riemsdyk, and Sean Couturier scored goals for the Flyers.
Carter Hart made 40 saves for the fourth time this season, all of them have been wins. He’s also the first rookie netminder since Bill Ranford in 32 years he’s made 40 or more saves while allowing a goal or fewer and won. The Flyers are also 7-0 when Hart makes 37 or more saves.
Up next is a Saturday afternoon matinee against the Islanders. Here are the wild card standings:
Bryce Harper hit his first Spring Training home run yesterday against the Blue Jays. And another.
Back home, the old Vet Bell has a new home and it looks glorious.
The Eagles re-signed Vinny Curry to a one-year deal. I like the move.
After beating the Celtics Wednesday night, the Sixers continue to get ready to take on the Hawks Saturday night.
Here’s what the NCAA Tournament bracket looks like after the first day of the first round:
Three reasons why Duke, who plays tonight, won’t win it all and why a 16 seed won’t win a game this year.
Mike Trout wanted to be in Los Angeles all along.
The NFL settled with Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid for less than $10 million.
In the news, Philadelphia Police displayed some of the 1,185 pounds (40 bricks) of cocaine they seized at the U.S. Customs House. Rick James:
