In Dancing News Today...
Cyd Charisse died. Anyone who has ever watched "Singing in the Rain" or "Brigadoon" has fallen in love with her. She will be missed. She certainly inspired me!
In other news, ok, well not news, but the Pilobolus performance last night was great, as is to be expected. Probably my favorite pieces of the evening were " B'YZRK" and " MEGAWATT", the opening and closing pieces. For descriptions, click here:

As usual, the dancing was magnificent and funny. But funnier still were the rubes sitting behind us, who obviously had never been to a dance performance before. After B'YZRK, they got up for a stretch and were dismayed/surprised when the ushers wouldn't let them go back to their seats when the next performance started. Obviously they didn't hear the very clear request at the beginning to not leave their seats until intermission. When I pointed it out to the disgruntled man in the party, he said "I thought that WAS 3 pieces and this was intermission." I really didn't feel like explaining that the curtain goes down between each piece...
