Sadlers Wells, to see a performance of their Wild Cursive piece. I thought it was stunning. It was based on Chinese calligraphy, so the dancers were representing the calligraphy brushes and the ink, and their costumes and movements were based on this. The dance was the most amazing thing - a kind of alternating between these beautiful fluid movements and quite strong, harsh martial arts-style stances. It was really like tai chi turned into a dance. Here's a picture from one of the reviews of the performance over here, at Sadlers Wells in Islington, which is just up the road from where I'm working. Funnily enough, they were also doing this performance in Sydney at the end of May, which obviously I missed, so I'm really glad I had the chance to see this over here, it was amazing.We just went for a wander around London today, cos Mark had to watch the Moto-GP thing on this afternoon. I had a good old shop at Covent Garden, got a few cool pits and pieces and a present for someone... you'll have to wait until we get back to find out who though... ;)
We're having a night in tonight, with some cheese and biscuits, red wine and steak and mushroom pie later for dinner, and then I think a nice long hot bath is in order... with some more red wine of course... :)
