Orchestra mixes in Latin flavor

The warbling voice of a soprano clashes with a trumpeter’s mouthpiece exercises next door. A violinist squeaks through scales and arpeggios as a pianist thunders in a different key, the percussionists steadily keeping their own time.

Spiritual healing via touch

Some people have a magic touch, specifically the ability to transfer energy through their hands for meditative and spiritual purposes. Luis Sanchez, a local Reiki practitioner, said anyone can acquire this ability through the art of Reiki, a mode of therapeutic touch. “You’re applying the principle of self-love to the cells and the organs, and as you do that, they start helping you,” he said.

Corruption in “Loot” mirrors ABQ discord

Joe Orton’s “Loot,” currently playing at the Vortex Theatre, is a British play which is perfectly relevant to modern day Albuquerque. Because Albuquerque is dealing with its own police shootings and alleged abuse by authority, the themes of “Loot” match our city near perfectly.

Dance club in full swing

The faint sound of swing music wafts from the Johnson Gym basement and mingles with the shouts of sweaty basketball players nearby. The smell of old shoes and sweat is everywhere in the aerobics room, yet the twirling mass of couples there doesn’t seem to notice.
