After our Joyce Theater Season, I went to see “Fall for Dance”, and Matthew and Kristin already have some entries . Wow they are so up-to-date…
and here I am writing about our end of August tour to the Britt Festival in Oregon. It is a pretty famous self organized Music festival. People bring blankets and folding chairs.
Of course wine and cheese and more, I think.
In this area, I was walking around before the show, and I encountered…
He(?) was very close.

I was so blown away by the fact that City Center opened up the top balcony for the Fall For Dance Performances! In my limited experience with CC, I have never seen it open for ballet. The only time I’ve been up here was for a Harry Connick Jr. Christmas concert!?
Anyhow, it’s actually a very interesting perspective, much like being up in the fourth ring of the New York State Theater, minus the horizontal distance from the stage. One of the most interesting things about being up here though, is that you can really see and appreciate the interesting architecture and decorative elements of the space.
For those who may not know, City Center is actually in a building that was originally created as the Mecca Temple, where The Shriners would hold their meetings (according to wikipedia). All the moldings and light fixtures have a middle eastern flair (evidently it was built in the Neo-Moorish style), and on the left side of the house at the entrance to the lower mezzanine, there is a preserved splotch of amazingly colorful and intricate wallpaper, which has been painted over in the rest of the space.
Perhaps some of you out there know even more about it??

An impressive array of promotional materials representing companies that are performing in the Fall For Dance programs.
I’m excited for the time when we can just walk up to a kiosk, and opt-in to be sent promotional info via bluetooth to our phones. So much more information, and much less paper wasted!

We arrived at City Center early for tonight’s Fall for Dance presentation. Since we parked and entered the complex on 56th street, we had to pass through the fall for dance “lounge” to get our tickets from the box office.
I believe there was some sort of dance lesson earlier, and surprisingly there were loads of people tango-ing on the dance floor. In order for me and doug to get to the other side, we had to assume the tango position and saunter across. Must have been pretty funny looking.
It’s so great to see so many people dancing!

I love this ballet, Bejart and Marcia Haydée are brilliant.
Marcia and Ballet de Santiago.
Lolo, she is a very nice ballerina.
Marcia. We are so lucky because she is here.
The company.
This ballet is for the more younger dancer, all of them have to talk and sing in different languages.
Here is Esdras. He is from Santander. Spain. He did a very good job in this ballet.
Esdras and company.
This is one of my favourite pictures.
Marcia is an inspiration.
