An All Wheeldon Night

After ballet class today, Sydney drove me and audrey C to McCaw Hall to see Pacific Northwest Ballet in “All Wheeldon.” As you will see later, us Spectrum girls go to See every PNB show of the year. Its our thing…

So all wheeldon is just a collection of pieces choreographed by Chris Weeldon. Its contemporary ballet which is PNB’s specialty. We had to sit a little further back than usual because sydney couldnt find her pass that gets us in for 5$ and she didnt want to pay for the $173 dress circle tickets we usually get. As long as we sit all together, its ok.

I hated the 1st of the four pieces, but the other 3 were REALLY good. The 2nd was a stunning & beautiful Pas De Deux, followed by a super balanchine-like section, and then a piece about life as a dancer backstage (HILARIOUS!!!!).

I would definitely suggest going if you get a chance.

So audrey is working on writing articles for a Spectum newspaper she and Mia decided to start, so she was collecting quotes from us about the show. If she publishes it i will be sure to post. I was also taking notes so that i can write a review of the show for my Choreography class (Eva HATES PNB so we’ll see how she takes it).

p.s. I tried pointe for the first couple combos today and it was okay except for like 3 or 4 hours later, i started getting sharp pains in my ankles while was weird… PLEASE FIX YOURSELF ANKLE!!!
