Cain Park: Take Eleven

This evening’s performance by Verb Ballets made the horror of last night recede for a couple of hours.

They are an amazingly well-trained and expressive troupe. There was such joy on the face of the shortest female dancer. On our way out of the amphitheater, my Sweetie stopped to tell her how much we enjoyed her dancing. I said that we could have watched her fling herself about (with joyous and controlled abandon) all night.

They are a very physical company. From our front row seats we could see the effect of their going all out in piece after piece. Fortunately, it was a cooler evening with low humidity.

Since all but one piece were company premieres, there are no videos yet. This clip will give you a feel for them.



Update on Callie: She shows no ill effects tho she keeps hiding from us. We absolutely cannot find her. We check all her known hidey-holes. She is in none of them. I am convinced that she is at point A, while we look in B through Z; then she slips into a room we have already searched.

Of course, she greeted us at the door when we returned home this evening. I know that my Sweetie was worried about going out tonight but I knew that we needed the diversion and that Callie would be fine.
