Warhol and Basquiat to be reborn on screen

"The Collaboration" is a play about a collaboration between two artists - Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat written by a four-time Oscar nominee Anthony McCarten. The Young Vic play received numerous positive reviews and was an absolute hit which made a transfer to Broadway and a major film adaptation possible. Both of the main characters played on stage by Paul Bettany and Jeremy Pope will be played by the same actors on the big screen, which is pretty unusual but very appreciated by the movie director. The movie will be set in 1980s in New York and will tell the story of the artists' lives. This is really exciting news, especially after being able to see their works in real life. It will be incredibly interesting to see how the artists interacted, how their conversations might have looked like and how they managed to overcome their differences and turn them into a beautiful exhibition.

Doggy dementia

Even though it's pretty difficult to spot, dogs can get dementia too. Doggy dementia is similar to Alzheimer's disease in humans, which we can generally see in dogs over 8 years old. Pets with this illness often get lost in their home, their interaction with people and other dogs can change. They tend to sleep a lot during the day and be more active at night. Other than that their activity levels can change too - from running around all of the time to barely getting up from their beds. I think that it's really important to pay attention to our dog's behavior. If we notice something suspicious we need to consult a vet. There are some medications to reduce signs of this disease. Research into non-drug treatment is planned, which is amazing. Who knows maybe there are some simple exercises that could help our best friends with this disease.
