I are a happy dance-nerd

I saw Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake tonight. Spoiler: IT WAS AWESOME. I am so full of flaily capslocky joy.

It was so beautiful. It lived up to what I expected it to be and yet somehow was also nothing like what I expected. I'm going to need to see it again at some point, but for now I will make do with ordering the DVD.There was just so much detail, and so much going on on stage, that I'm sure there's a million things I didn't get. And so much nuance in the choreography. Ooh, I could wibble about this for quite some time. SOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

(And I have not even begun to flail about the hotness yet. Humina.)

Instead, minor picspam:

 

(I was at no point slightly distracted because of cobweb_diamond 's amazing ballet AU. Nu huh. Did not happen. Total denial.)

 

ETA: I just googled Richard Winsor, the guy I saw as the Swan. I very nearly broke my brain.

 

UNF.

Richard Windsor is a GOD. I have seen him as The Swan (although I don't think anyone could compare to the orginial Adam Cooper). Have you seen any other Matthew Bourne? If you liked Swan Lake, you should check out 'Dorian' - it's an adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray. It's AMAZING and SO HOT. I've seen it twice.

'Carman' and Bourne's adaptation of Edward Scissorhands are also awesome.

Man, Matthew Bourne, I could ramble on about him all day. :)
