Date
5 August 2016

As we welcome August into our calendars with gay abandon, it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on when we’re having so much fun. For some focus, we’ve gathered together the best things we’ve seen on the internet this week and the people you should be following on social media.

A beautifully shot, short video portrait of a German ballet dancer in Berlin, discussing the art form, stage fright and his assertion that the true magic of ballet reveals itself in the process of experimentation and rehearsal, viewed within Within Three Meters . (Jamie G)
