The Sundance Channel has this wonderful show called Iconoclasts .

Even though this show has apparently been around for three seasons - I just found it. The episode I watched was the pairing of Mikhail Baryshnikov - be still my heart -and Alice Waters - author of The Art of Simple Cooking and owner of Chez Panisse. I have always admired Alice Waters. She is credited with single-handedly creating a culinary revolution in the U.S. with her fresh and sustainable style of cooking. And what women hasn't enjoyed the many talents of Mikhail Baryshinikov. The Soviet-born Russian American dancer, choreographer, and actor. He was even under the tutelage of the legendary George Balanchine for a time. Two completely different artists merging in conversation creating an opportunity for a unique and interesting dialogue. I am looking forward to more of these shows!

Anything Russian... Do you remember the movie 'The Turning Point'... I stayed up late one night at the Farewell House and watch it on cable. I loved the 'Russian (Soviet)Defector' theme combined with the Ballet. It was amazing...love Sta
