On Thursday the 29th of April (UNESCO International Dance Day) I received an email from Anne McLaughlin MSP, who quite unbeknownst to me had submitted the following motion to the Scottish Parliament! I am honoured to have been recognized in such a way, and surprised. What can I say, thank you, and indeed I will keep dancing!
SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT
MOTION

Short Title: Glasgow’s Lone Dancer Embodies the Spirit of UNESCO International Dance Day
S3M-06232 Anne McLaughlin (Glasgow) (SNP): That the Parliament congratulates Glasgow’s lone riverside dancer, performance artist Kate E Deeming, on her unique daily dance performances on the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow city centre; believes that artists like Kate Deeming bring joy to people’s lives, particularly during times of hardship; acknowledges the wonderful work that she has done in bringing dance and drama to children in Sri Lanka; congratulates her on performing a 24-hour outdoor dance marathon in December 2009 to raise funds for the FunforLife project, and encourages everyone in Scotland, on UNESCO International Dance Day, to be inspired by Kate and take up dance for fun, for health and for life.
