Cedar Lake
Numerous are the privileges of living in a big dynamic city. Yesterday I took in a dance performance by Cedar Lake. Not only the execution, but the choreography, the music, and the costume design were all spectacular. The creativity was almost overwhelming. I am not sure how to describe the genre, but modern ballet might be accurate.
The music was industrial-classical and the show explored themes of darkness, religion, control, love and, of course, the human body. You are reminded humanity is meant for more than sitting on couches.
The most gratifying part of the performance was the price. It was free! I have lived in cities where you could not pay to see that kind of work.
If you are in town, definitely check out Cedar Lake.

Nobody comes to New York to screw around. Most people have come here chasing big dreams and the energy is palpable. New York is an expensive place to live and the competition is high. People here want to make it big and that drives up the level of quality and commitment in nearly everything. That being said, it is one of the most friendly, rational, and talkative cities I have ever sampled. I am definitely enjoying it.
