National Dance Company of Spain 2 performs at Annenberg Center
Philadelphia Inquirer
place_ad_here(”half”); Posted on Sat May. 16 2009 National Dance Company of Spain 2 performs at Annenberg Center By Nancy G. HellerFor The Inquirer These young people can do anything and they did it all – really well – Thursday night when the National Dance Company of Spain 2 opened a three-day run at the Annenberg Center. f course it helped that what they "did" was three pieces by founder and artistic director Nacho Duato generally regarded as Spain’s most important non-flamenco choreographer. This supposedly "junior" company is now 10 years old and as in its last Philadelphia appearance in 2007 has a truly international roster: Five of the 16 dancers are Spanish but the rest come from elsewhere in Europe South America Asia and the Middle East. Continuing the global theme the works were set to music by French Austrian and North African composers all featuring Duato’s achingly beautiful seamlessly flowing technically demanding and unexpectedly witty steps. However a programming change would have made both dancers and choreography look even better.
Spain moves to ease abortion law
The Associated Press
The proposal needs approval from Parliament where Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero lacks a majority and has fallen out with several erstwhile allies either over Spain’s economic woes or for other reasons. The bill seeks to reform the law that legalized abortion in Spain in 1985. That legislation allowed the procedure in cases of rape up to 12 weeks of pregnancy fetal malformation up to 22 weeks and at any point when a pregnant woman’s mental or physical health were deemed by doctors to be at risk if the pregnancy went to term. This latter loophole has generally accounted for the vast majority of abortions carried out in Spain. Under the new proposal besides abortion with no questions asked up to 14 weeks the procedure would be permitted up to 22 weeks of pregnancy if two doctors certify there is a serious threat to the health of the mother or fetal malformation. Beyond 22 weeks it would be allowed only if a panel of doctors certified fetal malformation deemed incompatible with life or the fetus were diagnosed with an extremely serious or incurable disease.
