The arts

I'm finding myself drawn to the fascinating world of contemporary dance theatre. During Calgary's 2007 theatrical season I was fortunate enough to catch three super interesting performances, Alberta ballet's 'The fiddle and The Drum', Wen Wei's 'Unbound' and Nikolai Gogol's 'The Overcoat'. It's simply wonderful to watch talented dancers express ideas, emotions, feelings, etc... through flawless movement.

My newfound attraction surprises me however because up until now my exposure to contemporary art (mainly canvas and sculpture) hasn't been a positive one. There are a few contemporary artists that I do quite enjoy like Andy Warhol and Natalie Marsh but I usually rush through the contemporary section in musuems with disinterest.

So why does dance appeal to me above all contemporary mediums I've been exposed to so far? My passion for music is a factor, I also really enjoy the story telling aspect, but perhaps the shallowness in me simply enjoys watching hot bodies shake their groove thing!!
