Allan McIntyre: Theatre Goer Extrordinaire!
Sunday, Nov 23 2003, 05:01
First things first, I have quit Selfridges! The novelty finally wore off, and I suddenly realised I was surrounded by pretentious twats in the most boring place in the World! Feeling a tad sheepish about it as I don't have another job, which is completely necessary to ensure I can both eat, and keep a roof over my head! Looking for something a bit more local this time, because travelling on the underground with a hangover of a Saturday or Sunday morning, ain¡¯t exactly my idea of fun!
I have taken into consideration the lack of celebrity sightings, but it's just something I'm going to have to deal with!
So, if you know anyone looking for weekend staff with 4 years retail experience, let me know!
So, I'm a dance student! Let's talk about that for a change! Feeling rather good at the moment!
Getting ever so sweaty no matter what the class which is good, although anyone who knows me is already aware of my overactive sweat glands!
Over the last while, I've become the regular little theatre goer! Cream of the crop was Martha's crew at Sadlers Wells on Wednesday night! Not only do the Graham dancers look good, they are amazing! (Almost used fowl language there to emphasize my point!) Maple Leaf Rag was pick of the night! I am aware that some people hate it, but technically it was fabulous. Add to that a touch of humour and you've got yourself a really enjoyable piece of dance!
Can barely contain myself about next week!
Two of the Graham dancers are doing a 3 day residency with my year! Monday and Tuesday we have technique classes, then Tuesday and Wednesday, we have Rep! Then to top it all off, I'm going to see Rambert on Wednesday night! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
Unfortunately, I went to a performance at The Bonnie Bird, here at Laban, last night. Maresa von Stockart presented Beyond the Seven Seas which had some really nice sections, but sadly she must have forgotten that transitions between sections is vital to hold a piece together! Oh Well! It gets worse though! k|n|d|c premiered a piece called Adaptation and a trio under the title Methods of Display and Concealment. PANTS! That's all I really want to say about them! I welcome the idea that contemporary dance doesn't need a classical soundtrack, but these pieces were verging on a full scale rave! I'm also not a big fan of movement which looks like you're taking a fit! Add to that dozens of pointless high kicks and you have yourself a truly eye opening hour!
Must go now as my computer's going to shut itself down!
Byee!
