I saw dance porn tonight.

Chris is creating a thread about it but I can't stay awake to read it and add my comments. Tomorrow, maybe.

Pina Bausch - Ten Chi
 

guess you either hate her or love her - We saw Ten Chi performed tonight at UCLA, part of the Dance series this year and one of my must see choreographers - I'm obviously in the second camp. I was surprised that so many people left during intermission, more surprised when people left in the middle of the second act. But those that stayed leapt to their feet and gave an ovation that even the house lights couldn't kill.



I don't know that I can adequately describe the performance, a dance collage of impressions of Japanese culture through European glasses. It was funny, joyful, erotic, and just mesmerizing. A snow of confetti began at the end of the first act and continued through intermission and heck even through the curtain call. The ever present falling of - snow? paper cranes? cherry blossoms? it was perfect for the piece and made the dancers repeated moves through the drifts all the more enjoyable to watch. I love that Pina Bausch uses dancers of so many differing types, ages, sizes, and lets each play out their personalities and characters. Her work is half dance half performance art which is probably why I love it so much. She plays through the weekend, I'd recommend seeing this, except, you might just hate her. But for me, I can't wait to see more.

Home again, still sick, shoulda not gone to work yesterday. So, I'm going to bundle up on the couch with Disney Movies, Jungle Book and Ratatouie are coming in the mail today.

Last night was The Parent Trap, Hayley Mills rules.

Ok- this week needs to DIE. Horribly- die-end-over over over!

Rotten week-I NEED the weekend NOW!

*headdesk*

Well, I think you are an hour ahead of me, so it's a start! Keep your chin up, the day will soon be over and you will be free for the weekend.

The tickets I got for Bon Jovi would be great hockey seats.

I can talk about this now.

No Country for Old Men.
It's a good film.
I think Javier Bardiem (sp?) is going to get nominated for this performance.

We worked on this film and its trailer.

I hope it does well.
:)

Oooh, Cohen cred. Nice. I am always up to see a Cohen project.

I have nothing to do.
Only one of my employees is here.
Why did I come to work today?

Yes, I'll definitely be at it this weekend. Everything I've heard is fantastic. This and There Will Be Blood are at the top of my current anticipatory list.
