I didn't post because I didn't see it. I didn't see it because I didn't get a ticket. I didn't get a ticket because I was under the mistaken impression that one would be provided for me as a blogger for the Walker. I wished I had managed to make things work so I could have seen it after my mistake was made clear. However I did manage to arrange my life so that I can see "Hey Girl!" and I plan on posting something about that. Nothing to do with the quality or substance of the show as far as I’m concerned.

Its only natural to find objects, concepts, dances, people that are from another place or time more interesting than that which we have here already. I suppose it means Minneapolis is blessed with amazing choreographers that I am not always surprised or awed at every turn. The sneakers were very necessary and so fantastic. I was struck by the power of two people, committed fully to the same place and movement for such a time. One without the other would have created something completely different. Even in the Piano movement, her dual shadows on the screen caught me most. Why is duality so necessary? One foot goes up, the arm must come down or something is lost. Our brains need balance, the show left me feeling very straight forward, direct as well as a little swimming.
