Dance

[ateolf]

Yesterday afternoon Mary Beth and I walked over to Playhouse on the Square to watch a Collage ballet thing called Master Works where they did three different pieces. It was quite good. First was The Prodigal Son, and the story itself is just so worn in the brain that that part wasn't interesting, but the dance in the middle with the Siren (I think a section added to the story to fill it out for ballet form) was good and her dance was pretty impressive. The second was my favorite, called Vespers (by Ulysses Dove) and was more abstract and had really awesome music (all percussion in these fast abstract patterns that you brain can't lock down, it was by Mikel Rouse and I need to look it up). The last was called Gnawa and was also abstract and had some really visually impressive parts. On the way home we walked by a neighborhood tiny library and I saw a copy of The Iceman Cometh by Eugene O'Neill and picked it up (and funny timing 'cuz I was about to start reading another of his plays that very day!). Okay, so home and a little later I finished reading Stranded by Esther Tusquets and it was good. Now back to work.
