Finkle and I have tickets for tomorrow!!! I can't wait to see! I wish they did a workshop where we could learn choreography for a weekend. Then I could leave school and join their company and be a ballerina for the rest of my life!!!!! until I get to be 30...and then I'll have to pick something else...
I'm very excited that I got tickets to see this show. The idea of taking a play that is so well known and turning it into a ballet, and then going even further as to use Radiohead music is very intriguing. It seems to me that the choreographer had great plans that would help all these elements collaborate on the stage, and I'm hoping to see that in action tomorrow night.
I wish I had time to see this. I saw a clip of their performance and was extremely impressed. How often does one get the chance to see crazy brilliant art like this? Wow. I hope those of you that went had a great time!
I saw this performance last Friday night. I thought that the dancers were amazing. The grace and speed with which they move is truly amazing. It sometimes felt as if the actors were in fast forward. The use of projection was also very well executed. It helped to tell the story and (without giving too much away) made sense of how the different sequences were connected. And although I might not have gotten the story of Romeo and Juliet… it was still an amazing experience.
