Dance Fever I'm not all that big on watching people dance.  You won't see me at too many dance recitals, though I did manage to sit through a ballet recital a few years back (right Lutece and Mireya?).  But you know what?  I'd give my left nut to see the Merce Cunningham Dance Company at the Barbican Theatre in London next month. Why?  Not because of the dancing, but because of the music. The music for the performance of "Split Sides" will be done by Radiohead and Sigur Ros -- two of my favorite bands.  From what I understand, dice rolls will determine which band plays to which dance, lighting, costumes, etc.  A very improvised affair.  A very unique experience, I'm sure.  Truly nut worthy. Question is, can I justify taking off a couple of days from work to go see this?  Can I justify the expense for flight, hotel, and ticket to the show?  Would anyone understand why I'd want to go to a dance recital so badly -- just to listen to the music? There is a contest for free tickets.  I entered it just now.  If I happen to win, I'm so going. Related link: Barbican Theatre Events 5:48:09 PM     |
