My friend Frank took me as his guest to see Mark Morris Dance Group's production of "The Hard Nut" at The Brooklyn Academy of Music, more familiarly known as BAM.
I had only seen the production on PBS many years ago and remember loving it, but just like basketball it is oodles better seeing it live. For dance it is the live orchestra, the 3-D immediacy of it and the shared audience experience. I love the packed lobby at BAM. People everywhere. Who are they all and how can I meet them?
I love dance more than most things and I love the theatre and I love Christmas events and the chill and the lights and the bundling up and the letting go.
December is magical mostly. And seeing this production made it moreso. Go see live dance where you are. Anything. Just go. You will be amazed.
