Sexypink - COCO is ON. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 15 years of COCO Dance Festival. The struggles and the sacrifices have been real, and more continue to confront us. Why do I do it when there’s so little to show for it at the end of the day? I think it’s because my COCO colleagues Nicole Wesley, Nancy Jane Herrera, and Dave Williams and I all believe that the dance work that we do still matters in a world gone crazy with the self-absorption of social media, impending erasure by A.I., and territorial wars that affect the world psyche.

We have never, ever received even one third of the money that it really takes to produce this festival. While we have some sponsorship for which we are always grateful, we rely mainly on the kindness of the local dance community and on the willingness of the regional and international dance communities to make it happen every year. They fund themselves to participate in the festival, with little or (most often) no compensation. They contribute to the local tourism sector by paying for their own hotels, transportation, food, etc. For those of you who are producers, you know that that isn’t how it’s supposed to work. That’s not the way to build a robust creative sector.

I suppose our visitors do it because of a love of, and dedication to, their craft. Some of them are affiliated with academic institutions and this is part of their research. But they come, too, for the uniqueness of our twin-island republic (yes, some of them have found their way to Tobago also). They come because it’s cool to interact with dancers from a different culture, and we provide a space for that to happen.

We are in fact the largest annual contemporary dance festival in the English-speaking Caribbean, and certainly the longest-running. In a more developed arts economy that would actually mean something to the wider national society. But even though it doesn’t, we soldier on in our tiny neck of this urban island of big dreams and minuscule support for certain segments of the arts (especially those arts that don’t fit a particular narrative). But it’s becoming more and more of a burden to do so.

We’re charging $50TT for a show that’s worth ten times that. Why? Because we want to be inclusive and we want to fill the NAPA auditorium, and we know we can’t do that if we charged the actual cost. Even with sponsorship, we will likely barely break even, then we have to start the cycle of going, hat in hand, to the same organizations next year, and again falling short of the ability to build wealth for our tiny enterprise.

This proves once again that the basic buy low/sell high rules of capitalism are not easily applied to the arts. The arts need support in highly expansive, developmental ways. Again, why? Because, to quote Tony Hall, one of my beloved hero-mentors who is no longer with us, the arts are “civilizing”. They make us better people - higher versions of ourselves, towards being an evolved civilization. As humans, whose basic claim to fame is having a bigger brain than most other animals and an opposable thumb, being civilized should be what we strive for, in my humble opinion.

If you’ve never been to a dance show - for whatever reason - please consider attending our show this weekend. If you attend every dance show in town, please come to this one too. Either way, your support is greatly welcome. Tickets available at NAPA - 11am - 6pm every day.

winner winner ☕️🍫

A cute little pre-steddie holiday-themed cooking competition with a hint of ronance | wc: 999 | G | cw: food | late entry for @steddieholidaydrabbles day 6: cooking together |

"Look, it's not my fault you're gonna lose," Eddie said slyly, his chin rested on the palm of his hand.

Steve narrowed his eyes, very much ignoring Eddie's own brown eyes as they practically danced with mischief, freaking glittered with a challenge. Or maybe that was just the reflection of Christmas lights that Robin had hung up along each door frame in the Harrington house.

One of the many things that Steve had come to learn about Eddie was that he was competitive. Being a dungeon master should've been enough of an indicator, but as Eddie had become more a part of the crew, his competitiveness had become more evident. Unfortunately for Steve, the younger guy found them all -- from the shopping cart races to the surprise water gun fight -- really fucking endearing.

Even now -- especially now, as Eddie smirked up at him, smelling the proverbial blood in the water.

Or maybe "cream in the coco" would be more fitting, because the two of them were about to go head to head in the next installment of the most fearsome, epic, insane competition of the season: the Hot Chocolate War.

Many a competitor had been eliminated, thanks to the swift but fair judgment of one Nancy Wheeler. Dustin had lost to Lucas because the cinnamon had been too strong. Max had triumphed over Robin because of the peanut butter pretzel stirrer. But Steve had beaten Max because of a chocolate-covered strawberry, and Eddie had managed to barely scrape by El (who had beaten Will) with a dollop of cheesecake cream and crushed snickerdoodle.

This competition was fierce and elaborate. Steve's kitchen was covered in candies, different types of chocolate, milks, fruits, cookies -- anything and everything that could possibly pair well with chocolate was available.

This was war, and it just happened to be the final battle: Eddie vs Steve.

"It's not gonna be your fault, huh?" Steve asked, leading to Eddie shaking his head, eyes still glittering in a way that made Steve's stomach swoop. "Did you bribe the judge or something?"

"Might've tried to," he shrugged without a shred of remorse.

"I'm unshakeable," Nancy said proudly as she got resituated on her chair with the kids milling around behind her.

"But I have a plan," Eddie winked. "You'll see."

Steve hummed like a skeptic, unable to keep a smile from forming, which made Eddie's grow even larger. But Steve was competitive, too, and he had the advantage of having dated the judge once upon a time. He had a plan, too.

Then they set off.

The competition was simple, the winner determined by presentation and taste.

They both used the stove, opting to do it from scratch. Steve used whole milk, whereas Eddie used regular with half n half. The space was cramped as they both stirred a blend of chocolates into the simmering liquid.

"White chocolate with dark?" Eddie asked as he added semisweet and milk chocolates to his.

"Little bit of creamy sweet to counter the bitter," Steve said as he stirred.

"Oh, yes. Quite right. Of course," Eddie muttered with feigned impress before he playfully bumped into Steve's hip.

"You ass," Steve laughed, bumping him back before pulling his pot off the stove to whisk it vigorously.

They then set to work on assembly, their creations blocked from the other's view behind leftover pizza boxes, and then a handful of minutes later, the two presented their entries one at a time.

Steve's was gloriously rich with the whole milk, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate combo, and the half-melted candycane sticking out of it gave it a minty kick. The whipped cream was fresh and also minty, and the green sugar sprinkles on top made it all glitter like an ornament. He was confident. Mint was Nancy's favorite chocolate combination, as were the York peppermint patties straddling the rim of the mug. Nancy smiled brightly at it, bolstering Steve's confidence. He caught the knowing look Robin shot him, then smiled at the dreamy look her face melted back into when her gaze settled back onto Nancy.

And then Eddie revealed his, and Steve's stomach sank. "Oh, come on!" he whined as Nancy started to say, "Oh--"

Because Eddie's...

"--my god."

...made her and everybody else cackle.

A layer of peanut butter and cheesecake mixture supported vertical pretzel sticks topped with more of the mixture, to which coconut pieces clung, creating an edible forest. The mug held a molten helping of milk and semi-sweet hot chocolate, adorned by a piece of broken chocolate chip cookie that had a dot of cheesecake and snowy whipped cream on it to anchor a red gummy bear wearing a caramel chip for a hat. Caramel drizzle crisscrossed the cookieless part of the mug, and more gummy bears were stuck to the side, too, as if they were climbing.

Eddie twisted happily with his hands clasped behind him as he drank in the laughter and calls of it being "sick" and "awesome" and "bitchin."

"Did you top that with salt?" Nancy asked him after she took a sip.

"Sure did," Eddie grinned directly at Steve.

"That's amazing," she praised, using a spoon to eat a piece of the cookie with the hot chocolate.

Eddie mouthed "amazing" at Steve, then winked. Steve just shook his head with a grin, wanting nothing more than to tackle the idiot and squeeze him until he popped.

"Sorry, Steve," Nancy said with big apologetic blue eyes. "You know how much I love mint and chocolate, but Eddie wo--"

Eddie didn't even wait for her to completely say it before he whooped loudly and pressed a loud "MWAH" to Nancy's hair.

"Now you get to make it for everybody," she continued.

Eddie's face fell, his eyes big and pleading and pointed right at Steve.

"Them's the rules," Steve and a Robin said at the same time as the kids dug into the pretzel trees.

"I'll help you out, though," Steve winked, bringing the glitter back to Eddie's eyes.

idk you know sometimes i think about getting in a lil spat with steve in somewhere mundane like the grocery store or record store or something — just a little back and forth and you mumble something extra mean under your breath.

and just like — just him grabbing your chin and asking like — ‘hm? you wanna speak up?’

and you’re all bashful.

‘huh? you wanna say that again?’

and he does that bitchy steve grin and nods like, ‘aw yeah, i didn’t think so.’ and gives you a lil’ kiss on your squished lips.

oh my god like when he says “finish. the sentence.” to nancy. PEAK bitchy steve.

“what’d you say?”

he’s got you backed up against the cart and you’re afraid that he’ll take another step and make you fall on your ass. “nothing,” you say, breathless.

“thought i heard something,” he says, kind of frowning, grabbing your chin. your stomach flips - why’s he gotta do this in public? “thought i heard you bein’ mean.”

“of course not,” you whisper. “i’d never be mean to you, steve.”

“right,” he says, grinning softly. his fingers move up to squish your cheeks. “‘cause you know i’ll return it times ten, right, angel?”

“uh huh,” you say, entranced, arching your back so that the cart doesn’t go flying, pushing yourself up against his crotch.

he stares at you for a while. it makes you want to disappear. being under his heavy gaze sends you reeling, hardly feeling worthy of his attention. then he leans down and kisses you, real quick, just enough. “so, we agree we’ll get the coco puffs, right?”

“you’re a bastard,” you sigh, but this time, he only grins.
