The pains in going to a dance performance - well, counting out the cold, were not all that much. So last night, we went to a dance performance called "Dances from Petersburg." University Productions Presents - Dances for Petersburg
We reached a little late due to a late start and also because we had to find parking which was a little troublesome. And then a nice walk in the cold from the parking lot to the Power center. Over walked the door and then we walked back to the main entrance. And we finally made it. The show had already started and what do we see? Girls or all shapes and sizes jumping lifelessly on the stage. Dresses in white dresses that resemble a salwar kameez complete with a stiched on duppatta, they move gracelessly and without any synchronization on the stage.
That was the bad part. The show got better as the evening progressed. The dresses were ok as per me with nothing too special and even the dance wasn't all that invigorating. In the finale, there were three girls on each side of the stage with a huge playing ball(more life a balloon). They stood there for a third of the performance effectively blocking our anyway restricted view. For the second/third part of the show, they proceed to play catch with the huge ball and roll over it. For that last part, they were back in position giving our troupe eye sores. And that's when it all ended. I must say we had better fun coming home and chattering over cups of coffee. Overall quite a non-enchanting evening.
Apart from these antics, well, 'ardy 'nything 'ver 'appens. Beat vittal in a game of chess. No big feat that. Or is it? Any comments.
