A Midsummer nights dream
The ballet was fun last night. First, it was visually beautiful. The set was simple, with a giant flying flower as the central focus, with deep rich greens in the background. The costumes were gorgeous, The Fairy Queen’s being my favorite,(I want it), and the little farries, fairy wings being my second fav (I want those too).
The dancing was stellar. All of the dancers were strong, fluid and full of grace, (LOVE LOVE LOVE) and the choreography was well planned out and thoughtful. It was not only pleasing to watch, but was emotive and thought provoking.
I liked how there was an exploration of relationships between people, as well as nature, and that love was the thing that came through in the end, and to me seemed to be the central theme. Yaaay for love!
After the ballet, we were invited to a party for the dancers. It was very nice, in this downtown loft, that I could easily see myself living in!!!! (Don’t get me wrong, I love my house, and am not leaving anytime soon, but wouldn’t it be nice to have more than one place??) I got to meet some of the dancers, and see some people that I had not seen in a long time.
When that was over, we tried to find something else that was going on, but when we finally decided on where to go, it was pretty late, and nothing much was happening. So we decided to go to our separate homes and call it a night.
It was a good one.
