Lourdes insisted I get out of the house to see SFDanceworks this evening at Zspace, right here at Project Artaud. Charlie at the Box office, easily provided me a comp ticket in the first row.
Five pieces with five dancers. Two were by choreographer Merce Cunningham, not my favorite choreographer. My opinion hadn’t changed. It was good to get out. I considered leaving at intermission, it didn’t improve. Even Lourdes agreed. As we know, she doesn’t reserve her feelings. We did agree that Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet was superior by far.
Cunningham was in the forefront of the Modern Dance revolution in the early 1970’s. I find his work robotic before that became insidious in our culture. I popped another throat lozenge before I coughed.
Lourdes brought me flowers and I showed her Patti’s Book of Drawings. Not surprisingly, she was impressed. At the end of the evening, I told her she made my day. True. Good to see a friend and mobilize.
Whole lotta calls on Monday. Very glad Sunday is a day of rest.
Patti must be getting ‘processed’ before she sends any messages from the afterlife. All thoughts are with her.
