{:en} “If the mind is the kite, the breath is its rope.” I would like to start with this word that one ofmy dear teachers told me one day. The word Prana, which means breath, vital energy, vital force, comes from Sanskrit. “ayama” in the word pranayama means stretching, expanding, growing, extending/sustaining, and controlling. So “pranayama” can mean controlling the breath by extending and shortening it. The consciousness of 21st century people is so far away from realizing the perfect functioning of our body that we are not aware of what is going on inside our body. We think that our body will always work without even dwelling on...

{:en} Shoes, everywhere— For the small and the large, For summer suns and winter winds, Boots that rise, boots that fall, Sandals of rubber, slippers of leather. For millions of souls, For every pair of feet, Walking or still—it makes no difference. If shoes exist for everyone, Then so do paths, Countless roads waiting. Once, I had so few shoes, So few places to go— Yet I wandered far, I was young. Now, my closet is full, Destinations are endless, Yet I don’t move. The tags still dangle From my dancing shoes. If you are alive—travel. If your feet still stir—dance. Even in your living room, Let them wear thin. For we are human. We live. We love. We walk. So rise— Dance. And always, Always— Keep walking. Beril Yabar {:}{:tr} Her yerde ayakkabılar, Küçük ve büyük ayaklar için ,  Yazlık ve kışlık çeşitleri...

{:en} Hello from Turkey Bonjour from Istanbul Hallo from Beyoglu Ciao from Galata Tower Merhaba from Hagia Sofia Do you know what the first step that carries a call for peace in all languages, turns all the bad thoughts in our souls upside down, brings the dialogue on the same color, destroys distances, and brings people closer together? It’s a warm “hello”. I wanted to start my first article in “ArtTmodernmiami Newspaper” with these sincere feelings. Although there are many reasons to explain when I was asked what writing means to you or why you are writing, a short “memoir” for me is the best answer to this question. I want to talk about...

{:en} Istiklal Street is the pupil of Istanbul with its cosmopolitan structure and the heart of Beyoglu.When you immerse yourself in the flow of the street, from its mysterious alleys to its freshlybrewed tea, from book benches to the smell of fresh pastries, from theater stages to movietheaters, from schools to places of worship, from street musicians to cafes that offer livemusic, the street is a place of people who sail to work, day, joy, hope… The moment you caress the head of the yellow tabby waiting for its sustenance on this street that contains a thousand and one colors; your eye catches the posters of Atlas...

{:en} For many years, performing arts drew their power from an unshakeable, invisible wall: the Fourth Wall. The audience would enter the hall, take their seats, the lights would dim, and the story would begin behind that boundary. The stage was an unattainable universe of illusion, while the audience remained a sterile observer, watching that universe from the outside. Today, that ancient wall is collapsing with a resounding crash. The rising new language of performing arts worldwide is no longer just about producing “watchable” works; it is about building habitats that can be entered, smelled, touched, and physically breathed in. The new generation of audiences, in particular, is weary of the...
