There are few things on this planet that are as glamourous – and demanding – as ballet dancing. A professional ballerina starts her career as early as age six and spends years of grueling training to be able to perform incredible moves on stage.

This lifestyle may be unique and interesting, but it’s also extremely inaccessible. Ballet lovers, aspiring dancers, and newbie ballerinas don’t get to see the behind-the-scenes of their favorite art too often – it’s not like you can just walk up to a ballerina after a performance and ask her about her day.

Kathryn Morgan decided to change that. A classically-trained ballerina and soloist with Miami City Ballet, when she was still training, she had no one to turn to and ask even the most basic questions – how to deal with the pressure, what to look out for, what essential items can get you through your day. So now that she’s an established dancer, she has decided to give back to her community, and share her tips, tricks and advice on YouTube.

Kathryn’s videos range from hauls to debunking myths about ballet. She shares facts about her routine, her favorite items, even stories about her injuries. Through her channel, she makes the incredible world of ballet a bit more accessible and might help new audiences fall in love with this old, magical art.

Bread Face is one of the strangest accounts you could find on social media – and, surprisingly, one of the most successful out there.

The anonymous New Yorker behind the brand has been uploading videos of herself smashing her face into bread for the past 5 years. She gives no explanation to her strange hobby, which hasn’t stopped her from becoming a social media sensation with almost 200k followers on Instagram. Apparently, there’s a market for facial-bread-smashing on the internet.

Bread Face has remained anonymous until today but has provided a few clues about her hobby in a few interviews over the years. It all started with a Korean green tea roll – Bread Face suspected rolling her face in the soft, fluffy bread would feel nice. She simply gave in to her impulses. And she was right, it did feel nice.

She then thought it could become a fun little online side project – she would record her bread smashing sessions and share them on social media. She thought it would be funny. What she didn’t expect, however, is the outpouring of adoration she would receive. She quickly gained tens of thousands of followers who couldn’t wait to see what bread she’d smash her face into next. It resonated with folks looking for some light comedy as well as ASMR followers, who enjoyed the ambiance and noises of Bread Face’s bread-smashing.

Today she keeps on posting her videos and smashing bread. There’s no telling what she has planned next, but one thing’s for sure – she has no intention of stopping with her bread-smashing any time soon.

Performance art group, GREBNELLAW, is distinctively weird. Their blow up outfits in white and red, as well as their energized performances that are a blend of fashion, music, and straight up art, are anything but boring.

The group is headed by visual artist, performer, and singer/songwriter, Nosslo-Grebnellaw Aniluap (hence their name). “I started out making music because it was always easy to find dancers but there was always problems finding musicians who wanted to play,” she explained in an interview with Office magazine. “Then it gets a little bit more complicated than that because I’m also a visual artist and I wanted to create.”

“Really, I play God and I create these beings—I just want to have millions of them everywhere,” she added. “We are very far from that right now, but maybe the technology will help us somehow in the future.”

Their unique performance art has been featured in the Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, the Coliseum in Rome and Mejii Shrine in Tokyo, amongst other places.

Check out some of their work in the gallery below.
