Seeing the Arpino at the Joyce Theatre<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not one for dance; whether it be contemporary or traditional. I do think the dancers put in a lot of work; they condition their bodies to dance and perform for hours a day, they have to have the strength and flexibility, and the agility, to move as they do, and it likely took them a life time of commitment, skill betterment, and perseverance to get where they are, and I appreciate and admire their effort and their loved for the preservation and celebration of culture and tradition, but I felt nothing more from the dance itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I recognize their talent and love for what they do, but I myself am not too intrigued by dance beyond the momentary spectacle of a difficult move or a grandeur sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did see some appeal in the feeling of watching the dance because I was tucked away up high in the corner of a dark theatre in the center of a big bustling city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn’t hate the dance, they were clearly all talented and I wasn’t completely bored, but it may have been better if I wasn’t sick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
