Repent I write this post, time changes, the time of the year and month is changing.
The calendar takes us to the summer.
And what is summer?

What is summer?

This is 92 calendar summer days.
It’s warm long sunny days.
This is the night filled with the scents of the grass and the singing of birds at dawn.

Summer is always a lot of activities and entertainment.
I chose for this summer a lot of  film festivals and filled all the days of summer.

Only in summer I want to wander around the city and look in the windows
of shops.
Only in summer I want sit in  cafe with a cup of coffee.
Only in summer I want take my dog  Cindy and walk with her in the park to meet the joyful faces of passers-by.

What you can doing in summer?

Just nothing.

Put your head under the sun and sit as the old man screwed up his eyes, basking in the sun.

These old men remind me of buds of flowers, inclined to the sun.
They are filled with energy.

They are gaining energy for the winter.

In the summer birds sing exceptionally beautifully.
They have a special period, they are busy with chicks.
Their songs become sonorous and long.
Their melodies are endless and pleasant.

During the breeding period, they become attentive and caring.

And still I like flowers.
Endless number of different colors present in the flowers.
I really love the gentle lilies of the valley, but in the summer I admire the red peonies and poppies.

And now in result  of connect everything  together I get…….summer.

A wonderful summertime.

 Already tomorrow….
It’s summer already.

I wind up my alarm clock in the early morning, so it’s still early, at dawn, to walk barefoot on the grass with the dew.

And then I cook coffee and with my favorite cup sit on the step and start to dream and plan, collect the coming day.

I wish you all a warm and happy summer!

Write this post I started after today’s news in the newspapers about the real estate crisis in Toronto and Ontario.

We talked about the collapse of our mortgage company and what can we expect from this?

The absolute truth that the crisis has not touched the whole of Canada.
For this thanks to the division of Canada into independent provinces.

And the crisis did not begin today, it has been marching for more than two years and was seen by unexpected dismissals of workers and the closure of large companies.
It was noticeable for a number of stops of financing for non-profit organizations.

And the government is struggling with the situation
The main thing is not to interfere with them
They have already raised the tax on the purchase of real estate by foreigners in Ontario.
They take steps, do them very carefully and reluctantly spread out.

I remember….
We wrote at the studio pilots in late 2016 and one of these pilots was about the
 crisis of real estate.
The pilot did not pass  🙂
The project was closed  🙂

There are other symptoms, but I will not list them.

We are already in it, today.
I drink coffee today morning and there is a crisis.

How to live, what to do, what is my decision or vision?

The crisis was more than two years ago.
Then various TV shows were on TV. I watched one of them and remembered.
The presenter asked one of the best realtors in North America about his attitude to the real estate crisis.
The question was asked this way:
-,,What if the crisis has come?,,

He replied:
-,,If the family lives in a big house, two generations-adults, a father’s faamily and a son’s family. They are cramped. Something must be decided.

Two options for this case.
One option is to sell the property and split.
The second option is to overstay or rebuild in the light of the new situation-to change toilets, to expand the area of the house.
I choose the second. In a crisis not to change the property, stay in the same and improve its quality.,,
I absolutely agree with him.

Resale will additionally disproportion in the sale / purchase and intensify the crisis.
In addition, the purchase of property will not be identical to the previous one, but will be a step worse. And this is lower quality and not worth risking.
Maybe in general very bad options. The truth is that everything around is collapsing and options for a good choice will not be cheap. The difference will be obvious.

You do not rise so, but go down.
The crisis increases the difference between buying and selling and if you take a mortgage, it increases the cost of your mortgage.

I analyze my practice and the situations that I have experienced over my years. This happened to me in the Middle East, in Ukraine, in Canada.

My advice, how to protect yourself from the crisis:

1.If the currency of the country falls by 30% is a sign of trouble. Red light,,dangerous,,,,be careful,,

Banks in such a situation are in danger, your loans and deposits are also at risk.

If you did not take your deposits before the crisis, if you do this during crises, you break the balance sheet and exacerbate the crisis./Thank you for being real estate course 🙂 /

2.Do not sell anything from your main property.
If you did not do it before the crisis, in a crisis this is a big risk.
Not to resell property- is a big mistake if you did not do it before the crisis.
Do not transfer excess , accumulated money in real estate is a big mistake if you do that with open new morgage.
During the crisis it is good to rent out.
The rental price will rise and will be adequate to the crisis.

3.To buy something from the real estate for the formed big money, the capital,in another place.Make something different this time.Do not gamble in the market, if you are not a professional player….
 Do something,what give you money outside places of risk ( real estate,banks,deposite).Do your money in services and educations.

It will help you survive the crisis and have an independent capital.
These are my observations and my advice.

P.S.It’s very nice to receive such letters, they make me work.
Thanks you

Theater….Theater…Theater

Today we will talk about the theater.
The conversation will be long.
The modern world is changing very fast even yesterday we used fixed telephones.
Today we are connected with the whole world through the Internet in seconds.
Telegraph and cable communications were not popular.
Today much changes. It came to the movie, which is filmed in the pavilions mostly on the green screen for imaging

3D effect.It touched galleries that are more popular online.But today I’ll talk about the theater.
From the classical, theater has changed to dancing theater and musical.

A documentary theater appeared.

Actors tell on stage about events, give interviews, reports, show protocols and acts, statistical tables.
The performance is composed in the form of monologues or dialogues.

Verbatim.WHAT IS “VERBATIM”

The “Verbatim” technique – a creative group chooses a topic, and begins a survey of those real people,
Which it was decided to interview for this performance.
Very important questions. Questions are the beginning of the future concept of the play.
Actors with voice recorders record interviews, rehearsals are brought not only by interpretation of interviews, but also by scenic characteristics of the character.
Next – work on the play and play.

There are physical theaters as innovation.

As an example, we can say about the Meyerhold Theater/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vsevolod_Meyerhold/ , the Antonine Artou Theater/https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonin_Artaud/ .Pantomimes are included as opposed to movement.

Also the performans is accompanied by a Dance of Contemporary.In Europe, the physical theater is integrated with the verbatim and the DV8 company represents it.

A new drama is a new trend, a new kind of theater

This combination of relevance and modern language/http://www.inyerfacetheatre.com/archive8.html/
Its representatives are Mark Ravenhill/Mark Ravenhill /, Sarah Kane /https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Kane/

A separate stream can be called theaters-performances

Such a performance is played on a non-standard site and the actor lives by this performance
Spector of this kind may not have dramaturgy.
It can be a plastic performance, a performance of live music.
During the performance, interaction with the viewer, installations, modern technologies.

Always such performances carry an experiment.

Can you combine fiction and reality?
Yes, if it’s performance.

A separate direction of the performances is storytelling

Begin as a tale. As a narrative.They are based on fairy tales, legends, myths or stories from life
Consists of three components-it’s a story, narrator and listener.

As an example, the PiG Pen Theater /http://www.pigpentheatre.com/

Well, the performance-installation is built in general on acting, not on the stage or dramaturgy
Combined with 3D projections, halograms
Live pictures are created, where the actor as an object.
This is such a legalization, calls, this form of performance.

Well, it becomes completely new when the audience is sitting in the hall all in headphones and listening to the sounds that the actor creates on stage.

Separately I want to tell about a new direction, which is connected with the new theater, the theater from Slovenia

Carmina Slovenica./https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmina_Slovenica/

https://www.carmina-slovenica.si/en/stage-production/fortuna_fauvelu_ne_bo_par1/

The main means of expression is voice and sound.

You still say that the theaters have not changed?
Have changed and very much.
No one is interested in the classical staging theater where the actors stand and talk. Such theaters do not collect spectators, exist as amateur ones and quickly disappear or death.

This spring my life is very tense.
I draw and show my work on www.saatchiart.com/helenpolishuk and www.artfinder.com/helen-polishuk

I attend many exhibitions and get to know the cultural life of Toronto.But I’m also a participant of two huge festivals in Toronto 2017.I will tell you about this in detail.

A few  news from HOT DOCS Festival 2017

Runs from April 27 to May 7….Canadian International Documentary Festival

Today after the publication of the article I go to the festival.Started  with ,,Bee Nation,,

about Students in Saskatchewan trying to make their way to the national championship.D:Lana Slezic/Canada/78 min/Worlds Premiere

A lot of interesting films this year:,,Whitney,,Can I be me,,,,d:Nick Broomfield,Rudi Dolenzal/UK/100 min/Canadian Premiere

Bill Nye:,,Science Guy,,D:David Alvarado,Jason Sussberg/101 min/International Premiere

My eye noticed two films:

Mr.Gaga D:Tomer Heymann/Israel/Sweden,Netherland/2015/100 min

The foremost artistic genius of modern dance,Ohad Naharin is one of the most visionary and provocative choreographers in the world.Film look at his work,his process and unique life story.He puts a lot of pressure on his company to be the best.

Another intertsting film for me:

,,I called him Morgan,,D:Kasper Collin/USA/2016/92 min/PG

Recruited by Dizzy gillespie at the age of 18,jazz musician Lee Morgan had all the promise of a legend-until he was shot dead by his wife Helen on a snow night in February,1972 during a gig in New York City.Film is hybrid between a music doc and a true crime story.Film captures the unique spirit of the era and evokes both the cool and the cold of this life tale of jazz,love and murder

A few news about Luminato 2017 Festival

This festival is always waiting impatiently in Toronto.

This year he is full of dance debut productions.
The whole world seemed to connect theater and dance.

I will still write about my impressions, but looking through the trailers, I settled on these novelties

Akram Khan,,Until the Lions,,

Award-winning choreographer and dancer Akram Khan realise the Sanskrit epic poem The Mahabharata to contemporary dance and live music with exploring the physical expression of gender.

As he prepares a new dance version of the Indian classical stories,he explains why he has put women centre stage

Also Canadian unique ,,King Arthur’s Night,,

Refined,brutal,crude and tender King Arthur’s Night is a radical re-examination of the creative process and a kick in the knees to our assumptions about difference.This ambitious work of theatre and music is co-created by Nail McNeil,an artist living with Down Syndrome,with Marcus Youssef and James Long and Canadian alt-sonstress Veda Hille.

Many are waiting this year for the  Luminato festival of arrival Hip Hope Dance Theatre with worshops and lot of public projects….

,,Ghost Rings,, performed june 20-22  /pop concert/

For those who constantly monitoring what is happening in my blog and on the site www.helenpolishuk.com,I reveal my secrets today.

How do i fight spam by secret

Spam is a difficult thing.
They spread everywhere where you work without advertising.
I work without advertising.
For now.
I see spam and  now answer the question:”How do I deal with spam?”
This question is asked to me on the messages on the blog. Maybe they ask who is really  spam me.
I answer today:

,,  Do you know what are mosquitoes ?

They live in a certain season.
They live in a certain locality and in certain conditions.

Everyone fights with them in their own way:
Who catches them, who closes from them, who substitutes their skin.
                          Who avoid such places for life.,,

My answer is clear?

My second secret:

How do I react to statements in a blog?

I follow all the comments on my blog.
And I’m looking at statistics.
My result is very very modest.
But I started from ziro and I hope to get a high riting of the website and blog on the future.

Somebody  is admires.
Someone says something.
Someone is playing.
Someone admires the work done.
Somebody flunked me with spam.
Someone criticizes me for mistakes.

My answer:,,Thank you all not indifferent to me.
We work together.,,

Some secret changes on the site

You already know how to get to see my pictures.
I will repeat a bit.
You must go to the main page, where I put the film about the spring collection of my paintings.

This film I created and maked from collection during 15 years work and from different styles of paintings.
You can view this movie by clicking on it.
If not,you can be found at the top in the middle <My Portfolio> than click <Current Work>.

If you turn <Current Work>, you open pages with my last work.

But in <Previous Work>, you find my past 15-20 years work .

If you opened new page <Current Work>, you  can see three tops:<Abstract>   <Ukrainian>   <Landscape>

In this three type of style I work right now.It is not last.It is just now,right now.

If you click on <Abstract>, you can see all my painting in abstract style,dimention,date of creation,image and price.

If you click on <Ukrainian>, you can see all my last work in Ukrainian or about Ukraine.You remember,then I am native from Kiev.

If you click on <Landscape>, you can see all my paintings in this style.

All my painting is original and 100% handmade ,not print.

I will be grateful for your comments on the blog about my paintings.
And I will publish your comments only, if they are in the subject of my publications, if they are about my paintings,if I find them interesting for the development of the topic of the discussion on the blog.

As the material accumulates, I will publish my posts in the blog.
Therefore, I ask you to write me your wishes/comments and we will find common interests with you.
Yet, that for the past month I approved from the comments after viewed 700 comments only one.
I saw  it is one real and simple ,and it is not a spam.

Thanks to website developers, for your tips and helps.
Thank you guys. Your work is hard, I know. You are those invisible shadows that create the Internet, this network of multi-million users.

Cheers

Enjoy begining of spring

Yours

Helen
