Sunday night I sloshed out through the snowy rain to see Prog B of Garth Fagan Dance at Nazareth Arts Center. (Am I the only one who finds it challenging to read programs, especially when there are listings for three different programs in one book? They're like magazines; the index is 20 pages in, after the scratch-n-sniffs.) I don't have much to say since it was wonderful, as usual. I love the mix of different types of music with dances you wouldn't think would mesh. I love watching the dancers' heaving diaphragms as they catch their breath, and the taut muscles when they're extended. I did see a first for me: an encore dance. After the standing ovation and as the non-stop clapping, the company came out to do "Light" again. Happy me, ‘cos it was my favorite.

Next up: Mos Def at UR, maybe some Los Lobos/Mellencamp, and watching the dissolution of the Mandala at Colgate.
