We went to a performance tonite of a 12 person company of musicians and dancers. Two were guitar players and two were singers. We saw 5 female dancers and 3 men. It was difficult at times to understand the “story” of the dance, but we could tell very well the emotion involved. Several were happy dances and one in particular was terribly ANGRY. Not sure why, but that lady was extremely unhappy. The theatre held maybe a hundred in the audience and the stage was not very big either, but the performances were not small. I’m glad we had a preview from one of the dancers this afternoon to help us understand the “props” of the dance—the shoes, the hair ornaments and the castanets.
What can I say? The performances were enjoyable and the performers seemed very accomplished. I tried to take pictures without flash as requested, but they were just too dark to keep. N video taped 3-4 of the dances to be put on the DVD for our group to enjoy. I may put a short clip here, when we get home
When I watched this, it seemed a little jerky, hope you can enjoy it on your computer.
There was no rain when we went out or returned tonite, but we’re expecting a 50% chance tomorrow at the Alhambra in Granada. That also means a 50% chance of NOT having rain. I’ve been told to think positively.
