A loss in the dance family
David Ollington, K-State dance professor
announced to the crowd the death of neighboring University of Kansas
dance professor Janet Hamburg who fell from a building in New York
City onto a construction platform the weekend before, Saturday 4
September 2010. He also dedicated his work in the concert to her.
Hamburg was a world renowned teacher who
lived in Lawrence, Kansas but also worked in NYC and other cities.
 Quote:
"Her research has focused on coordination problems in children
and adults, athletic performance, movement problems of older adults,
and movement therapy for people with Parkinson’s disease."

Gurukul Academy - Artistic Director Samarpita Bajpai -
Two points, that is not a headset on her head.
She is really balancing that whole set of objects on her head while dancing.
She is dancing on broken glass. (for real)
The broken glass was the finale for an piece
in which she dances while balancing an increasingly higher and smaller
set of objects on her head. She starrts with a circular padded head
ring a one pot then dances on two glass tumblers. Next, another pot
and she dances on two small sword blades, followed by a third pot
and dancing on the rim of a dish (see her getting the third pot below
left) and last by a fourth pot and the broken glass (above in tech
and below right in performance).
