ABT Fall Season!

I'm doing a thing! I'm headed to NYC with my daughter to catch two performances of ABT's Fall Season. I'm am so very excited because they are dancing one of my favorite ballets, Etudes. I'm overjoyed to see this on a grand stage instead of on YouTube. Program 1: Classics Old & New Piano Concerto No. 1 (ch: Ratmansky, m: Shostakovich) Petit Mort (ch: Jiri Kylian, m: Mozart) Etudes (ch: Harald Lander, m: Czerny) Program 2: 20th Century Works Ballet Imperial (ch: Balanchine, m: Tchaikovsky) The Dream (ch: Ashton, m: Mendelsohn) I just love these two programs. If I had time and money, would have stayed for the 3rd program of 21st Century works…le sigh. A new discovery for me is Jiri Kylian's Petit Mort. I've only recently looked up videos. It is stunning. Absolutely gorgeous. I think this is NDT (Netherlands Dance Theater) based on the comments, but not sure.

Here's a link to Etudes, too! I absolutely LOVE this piece.

Here On Neptune

When our lipps close are eyes like a small death inside

The atmosphere around us is almost earth like

Every day I discover some more when I find

Something new under clothes that you wear in such pride

One for each finger, your hay hand will wear

The rings that I bought for you in despair

Adams and Galle, your thumb Arago

Le Verrier and Lassell, now you’re colder than snow

Backwards I go, there is pain in my glow

I’m Triton, I’m tortured, and missing you so

But here in your orbit, Ibwill remain

Here on Neptune I’ll stay, living life in vain

I'm feeling better ever since you know me I was a lonely soul but that's the old me

Here’s a moody little study in a not at all bad mood.
