Of late I have been on an alt-theatre kick. So instead of a more usual kind of play, I drove past Wicker Park to see Aloft Loft's Ghost Stories. It was a collaboration with Strange Tree. About the grizzly tales of 7 Dead Brides. The drama was less than fabulous, but I loved the aerial dance part. Trapeze acts, silks, whatnot. All in a tricked out garage.
Which is when I decided that I want to learn Silks. Like big lycra trapeze hammock. Spinning and flipping and climbing. I am nowhere near in the right shape to start, but now I am motivated. Looks incredible.
And a different flavor of aerial was me nearly being blown down Michigan Avenue. It was gorgeous outside, nearly 70, so after work, I walked around the park and enjoyed the lingering sunlight and t-shirt weather. The final hoorah before I perma-bundle.
Seeing Argonautika next Tuesday, hopefully. The Mary Zimmerman production at Lookingglass.
on iTunes: Elliott Smith - "Rose Parade"
