This was my first ever ballet and it was good for two reasons. One because I would never of gone to a ballet without being here, I just wouldnt even think to go and if i had i don't think I would of persued it just because of class. It sounds like im in the dumps about the whole thing but I'm not. It's true and Im not in the dumps I just want to talk about the things I am experiencing which i never would of. I turned up with jeans and t shirt on and I looked like a scruff compared to other people which had dressed up but this was an observation. Im starting to get used to this difference. The crowd was so different to usual people I see. It was like the crowd for fine art. I want to put myself in more of these situations where I experience things I never would of because of class. Its healthy for me and with being with my best friend she gave me the confidence to be okay with who i was.
Secondly and most importantly THE DANCE!! Im really REALLY getting into performance. In a big way. I was interested in the way.....adult humans had used animals to create stories for little children then picked those characters out and made a dance and turned it back into adult enteratinment. Also the use of our relationships with animal movements to create the dances. Taking characteristics of animals to create movements within humans. Very very interesting. Also the set designs and little touches like when the jeremy fisher jumps into the water and he just disappears and massive dust of glitter represents water and cold ice representing water. very very nice. Its all these little things I wanted to write down but couldnt because I had to remind myself that i was on art off mode and this was time to just enjoy. I get frustrated tho. I like writing things down. But very beautiful. Want to to go the nutcracker etc.
