Dancers become divers for full underwater performance – seattlepi.com

0 |

With their heavy tanks of compressed air, hoses, gauges, wetsuits, fins and masks, divers seem more like astronauts than ballerinas. Yet in what is being billed as a world first, 14 dancers are donning scuba gear for an underwater performance, complete with specially composed music, to an audience submerged to a depth of about 5 meters (16 feet) in Cape Sounion, southeast of Athens, beneath the ancient temple of Poseidon — the god of the sea in classical mythology. When the water is clear, 40 seats are available for the audience on the seabed, and 40 more could get a panoramic view as they snorkel while landlubbers can watch nearby on a giant screen for what was planned to be a three-day run. […] there were the logistics: diving gear, transport, financing, the vagaries of the weather and political upheaval in Greece, complete with banking restrictions and early elections. […] she said, the deep is something I won’t part with. Because now I carry it within me.

0 |

A massive 12,516 square foot penthouse was just sold for $60 million USD in Miami, becoming the most expensive real estate purchase ever in the Floridian paradise. The sprawling penthouse is situated at the top of Faena House Residences, a luxury hotel with wide ocean views that houses 47 residential units, and hotel-style amenities and services including a private concierge service, valet, a fitness center, and a private beach club. Glass walls encircle the multi-floor penthouse, which houses five bedrooms, a large great room for family or entertainment space, a media room, two custom kitchens, a dressing room, and its own private elevator. And if the building’s two in-house pools and beach club with full cabana service isn’t enough, the owner can enjoy their private 70-foot infinity pool that sits atop its own 9,900-square foot Brazilian-style terrace. The mysterious buyer dropped $60 million USD for the place — $10 million over the asking price – and is still unknown to the public.
