Ballet

So I just realized I never blogged about the ballet. I suppose "better late than never" comes into play here. Anyways, here it goes.

I really enjoyed the performance. I never inherited any of the coordination or balance to dance well, so I admire anyone who can. I particularly liked the way exaggerated movements of the shoulders, neck and head were used to convey emotion, where (I think) tone of voice would have been used in the play.

At the risk of incurring the disapproval of my undoubtedly more fashionable classmates, I must say that I quite liked the costumes. They were bright and colourful and entirely fitting for an adaptation of a play in which the characters are also quite colourful. I especially liked the use of similar colours and similar styles to emphasize association between the characters.
