Hurrah, my blogs back. Praise be to Luke – greatest webmaster of all.

Anyway, normality having been restored and the evil forbidden sign being gone, let me tell you of my experience yesterday. As noted in the previous post, I intend to go to the ballet; I’m very thirsty for all types of art now I have been to the opera (something which I once saw as bourgeois and inaccessible) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Here at MMU, they do courses in dance,, one of which was staged yesterday. Needless to say I went, paid my £1.50 at the door and took a seat.

What I saw, it must be said, was odd. La Rondine was in Italian but thanks to the surtitles was still understandable. What these dancers were doing seemed random. There were about ten pieces, some set to music, some with music but the movement taking no heed of it, and some in silence. He final piece actually took place on the seating, with the audience having to sit on thee stage. It was all quite odd.

So far, I may be appearing to be a luddite, which isn’t my intention. I love how my university experiments in terms of art. Last week, I went to a very disconcerting piece of theatre where the audience were shepherded around, and were supposed to be inhabitants of an asylum. That too made little sense, but does it matter?

No, I think not. What matters is that they’re stretching artistic boundaries: experimenting. I find it exciting, and cant wait to see what’s going to come next.
