The Beast Unleashed

starting at about 5:30 after my ballet class was over, i began helping set up for the beast. I started with decorating the walls with ribbon, then i spent about a million years with mitch trying to hang the curtains in the lower studio. It took sooooo long! the cool thing was, that was also where the company was warming up so i got to watch the being all flexible and stuff. After that, i had to run up and down the stairs a ton of times because i was putting programs on all the chairs. the problem was, all the programs were still being printed so i has to take multiple trips up the stairs.
The show was pretty good. i had my own little seat right in front of all the tech stuff so i had a pretty good view. I liked the show, but i didn’t think it was AMAZING or anything. Because the piece was about domestic violence, a very serious issue, a huge amount of emotion was demanded from the dancers. i thought they did a great job with this and the dancing. The part i didn’t like was just the choreography in general. I dont know if it was because i hadseen it so many times in rehearsal so the shock value was gone or what. i usually like the DB style but this show didn’t quite do it for me. that isn’t to say that it wasn’t a good show and that you shouldn’t go. i still enjoyed it. it just wasn’t exactly what i expected.
