bliumchikI forgot to mention we went into the city twice to see plays - Peribanez, by Lope De Vega, and Porgy & Bess, some sort of operetta.
Peribanez was really amazing - that set alone must have taken forever, there was dirt on the floor about an inch thick, and huge piles of sandbags. And a cool moving backdrop which worked with the lighting to give a huge variety of imaginary spaces.
P&G also had a pretty cool set, but it was frankly shit. There were some nice songs, but all the bits in between the songs really didn't benifit from being sort-of kind-of sung a little. Ah really haaaaaaate! Your guts. Uhuh. No. All it did was make the thing interminably long. I mean, at least in foregin operas, you you don't understand what they're saying, so you don't necessarily notice that they're singing "I like beer! I like beer! I really like beer!", but here it's just excruciating.
On a different tangent, a thing I learnt from Buto: whatever direction your feet and knees point when you walk, your hips want to follow them. That's how you change your walk. When your knees point inwards and your feet are close to directly in front of each other, your hips sway so much more. To do a guy walk, you have to have your feet further apart. This I discovered from watching other people do the Neutral Walk, in which you're supposed to try not to move your hips at all in any direction except forward.
Um, I think that's all.
