Bjork and B-Boys

This weekend was full of amazing shows. On Saturday I got to see Bjork on her Volta tour. On the way there I was thinking about how long it had been since I went to a really big concert. I could think of some really great shows that I went to at the Canopy Club the last couple of years, but I couldn’t think of the last time that I had been to a huge concert. I got a bit of a warm and fuzzy feeling all over in anticipation of it all. After a while I started to remember perhaps why it had been so long since I’d been to a show. I hate the waiting before hand, its loud (go figure), and you have to push your way towards the front and crane your neck to see past the tall guy in front of you. I think I am getting a bit to old for it all! A major part of me really wanted to just be curled up on the couch with a cup of tea watching YouTube videos of concerts. It was worth it, though, because her live sound was even better than her recorded albums. She puts on quite a show, costumes, effects, gimmicks, and all!

Then on Saturday my friend Renee and I went to see a Korean B-boy show! It was awesome! It was called ‘The Ballerina Who Loves a B-Boy’ and non-verbal performance piece that is about….well, I’m sure you can figure it out from the title. It was so fantastic and non-stop. The story line was kinda lame, but the energy and talent of the dancers made it so much fun to watch. I took a little video clip, which of course does it no justice, but give you an idea at least. I am not sure how they keep it up for so long, and they really make it look so effortless, too. Like I could have just gotten out of my chair and spun around on my arms if I wanted to. Enjoy!
