The only thing the Nazis did right was to kill Modernism. Why can't the school dance department let it rest in peace?
(Yes, I know it's hard to pinpoint exactly when Modernism ended and post-Modernism began, but I blame the Nazis. Well, I don't blame them because I find Modernism boring, but they did it. I'm not saying that Nazism was a good idea, nor do I agree with their views on 'Degenerate Art', but the end of Modernism was a good thing in the long run for the arts.)
Fortunately, they followed a 45 minute piece on survival in a post 9/11 society (or as I called it, "mitigated Modernist shit in pseudo-cathartic attempt at relevance") with a Beach Boys medley with the entire dance company in their tighty-whities.
Now that's my kind of dancing. Mmmm...
Normally I don't like sitting in the front row, but the show was almost sold out and I didn't have much choice. But when the cast started taking off their clothing, I flip-flopped like Kerry's voting record (oh I'm so topical!). Let me just say that the dance belts under their skivvies are sure going to give me some sweet dreams tonight!
