Rachelstewa ::: Favorites 2007-08-26 17:00:37 So glad this performance was shot. I probably saw Ballet Mechanique 8 - 10 times, and loved it every time. Something mesmerizing about all that sound in that great space at NGA. The silent crowd scenes under the introductory captions is exactly right . . . the place was always packed. __________________________________________________ | |

catchersmitt0 ::: Favorites 2007-05-02 19:22:39 I saw this performed "live" at NGA in DC. It was amazing, just amazing. I can't believe I was so lucky... I loved it. It was power. It was emotion. It was chaos. It was like being in a storm. It was like being inside a Jackson Pollock drip painting. It was part of a very large Dada exhibit that was one of the best NGA exhibits I ever saw. And it was FREE - sometimes DC is a great place to live. __________________________________________________ | |

esinger3141 ::: Favorites 2006-08-19 20:04:52 It still could hit Chicago, or other places. We just need an organization to request and sponsor it. If you know of one, contact us/them. __________________________________________________ | |
MrDeltoid ::: Favorites 2006-08-19 15:36:47 Just picked up 'Bad Boy Made Good' the doc on George Antheil from Paul Lerman's website. Fantastic stuff. I wished this exhibit would have hit Chicago... __________________________________________________ | |
