Saturday night's ballet was a treat. Carmina Burana preformed in full by amazingly talented dancers - and not just ponsy, proper ballet, either - it was so modern. They mixed in bits of break-dancing and acrobatics. It was so cool - and funny too. They did a drinking scene from carmina burana and one guy did this cool drunken style - so fabulous.
Bolero was chilling too. So other-worldly. They wore mostly black - with bits of white / gold rimming their flowing costumes and the music just kept crescendoing, up and up and the dance got more and more elabourate, twirling and leaping and falling. It was very cool.
I'd totally go and see them again if they were playing. Carmina Burana was well worth the wait to see - like 4 years or something... i don't know, ever since i stole the cd of davidnarby. but i do see now why it's never preformed on it's own. it is way too short. it was just one act of three that they did.
yea - it was really brilliant.
the rest of the weekend was ok. we had a lazy day sunday - stayed in bed reading 'til 2ish then went to the park with some stale bread and fed the ducks. they are vicious to each other - nipping and flapping around to get the most bread.
i'm reading really good books too. about a thief - called luck in the shadows, by lynn felwing or something.
