surprise Tuesday culture

Today was supposed to be a day of working late and cleaning.  Instead it was a day of working late and seeing the last two acts of the Royal Danish Ballet performance that a friend of a friend couldn't make.

Her loss was my gain - the performance was very good, and also different from the sorts of things I'm used to seeing (although I think I probably say that often enough that it's never really true).  It was a series of short repertory pieces, which I prefer to long ballets because I have no attention span.  The costumes were more elaborate than I'm used to, the dancing seemed to have a lot more jumping, particularly by men, and because my friend and her friend have more important jobs than I do, I was sitting close enough to see the subtle details of the dancers' movements.

That is all.  I'm not very smart about ballet.  But I went, I saw, and soon I will sleep.
