Linkfest: A Ballet with Pregnant Women

In London, Balletlorent is currently recruiting 12 pregnant women to star in a dance production called, "MaEternal." Artistic director Liv Lorent, who, coincidentally, is pregnant herself, says she has always been interested in combining trained dancers with normal people from all ages to make her ballet productions more authentic.

"I've done projects in the past where I have invited all sorts of people -- children, old people, builders, footballers doctors, all sorts -- to take part," she told Reuters.

The performance takes place in the northern English city of Newcastle this May.

It's the BPP's Ramble.
