Ballet Jörgen - Anne of Green Gables

[yuuago]

The Anne of Green Gables ballet was lovely. Really glad that I decided to go. :D I laughed, I cried, it was a good time.

The dancer for Anne's part was an absolute delight. Perfect for that role. The duo playing Marilla and Matthew were also really really excellent.

This performance is based on the musical, rather than directly from the book. I looked for clips of the ballet, but cursory flip-through doesn't turn up much. There's a trailer though: here.

It's been quite a while since I saw a Ballet Jörgen performance, but this one fit with what I remember of their style from when I saw them several years ago in Halifax.

C and I decided that we would dress up for this, because why the hell not. When we got there, we were pretty much the only ones who had, and stuck out quite a bit. Oh Fort McMurray, oh you. Ah, well.

We ran into C's friend M after the show, and got to talking. Apparently he's part of a writing group that meets on weekends. I gave him my contact info, so hopefully I'll receive more details some time soon! That could be interesting.

I ended up getting home wayyyy past my bedtime, and I totally paid for it today. ;) No regrets, though. It was a good time.

Yes, I realllly hope something happens with the writing... Not that I've planned to start writing more original work or anything, but. Yay, being social?!

Eee, the Anne of Green Gables ballet looks amazing! The casting for Anne seems very good (I mean, costume, hair, expression...)
