The aesthetic that is dance: lights, music, energy, colour, stretching to the heights of a discipline to
be shared and appreciated, all of this goes into the buildup we appraise as the performance.
What of the players on stage? How many delicious fried meals did they have to refuse, How many hours of sleep did they abstain from to get the movements right to sync with their partners.
We the audience leave the hall in applause mode, but if you really ponder the performance in terms of its background efforts and disciplines the words of Rilke echo thoughts: "For beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror.”
Attended the matinee performance of 'metamorphosis takes flight' at NAPA (National Academy for the Performing Arts)yesterday afternoon, so response to today's challenge is inspired thus.
