Tonight was Highlands sleigh ride night. We arrived late as per usual but in time for a seat. C made some boozy chocolate and we toured the mansions of the ritzy Aida Boulevard from the cheap seats.

Brian Webb Dance Company tonight at the Citadel. They are presenting Kidd Pivot who we saw previously at the Citadel in 2010.

The show is called Tempest Replica and is based on themes from Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Almost a full house. And a guy folding paper boats. Hmmm.

Well Leslie loved it. I was kinda meh. Always worth the price of admission though.

Wayne Lee the hypnotist tonight as a fundraiser for a friends nursery school. Second time I’ve seen Wayne. I will never. NEVER. Volunteer for one of his shows.

Funny funny stuff.

Dinner and music at The Blue Chair featuring Le Fuzz.

Le Fuzz is Frank Bessai and Thom Golub and company. I know Frank as he is Diane’s son and she used to talk about him ll the time in classes and Thom is Leslie’s second cousin.

The food was so-so but the world beat was fun and we grooved a bit. We caught the early show so we’ll be in bed by 11.

Back at the Timms for bwdc’s presentation of The 605 Collective. We missed the first show of the season last week so I had no excuse to skip out on this one.

And I’m so glad I didn’t. It was beautiful, energetic and entertaining. One of those presentations you find yourself wondering if it was the choreographer or the dancers who were capturing your attention; and inevitably concluding it didn’t matter.

Studio Theatre’s first effort is August Strindberg’s Ghost Sonata: first year fodder for me. Eventually I’ll see all the plays I read in university. But I’ll be pretty damn old.
