OK, wend, let's give you a quick run-down on Michael Clark. Here's a beautiful photo from the 80's
7681e2becc235945f6e9ec97f4a36fdba0f6490c


And here's a bit more info:

"A glittering career as a Royal Ballet dancer was all but guaranteed, but the sense of dislocation grew deeper. "I felt like an alien. My future was all mapped out for me and that was so uninteresting. I lost interest [in ballet] and wanted something that I didn't understand."
(emphasis added)

Clark dismayed his teachers by quitting the Royal Ballet. He joined the contemporary dance company Ballet Rambert and formed his own company in 1984 at the age of 22. What followed was a series of dance works that were informed by his classical training – "I did try and reject all that, but I couldn't. It was in my body" – but adopted the sounds, aesthetics and spirit of punk and new wave. "I had to make the two worlds come together," he says. "The [Sex] Pistols were very theatrical actually – there was a camp aspect to what they did. And darkness too which was very attractive."

Those quotes are from 2018. It got me thinking back to his costumes and props and that is interesting bc I always had mixed feelings about them. I loved the OTT aspect and the crazy theatricality of it all but it was also problematic bc sometimes the 'stuff' got in the way of the dance, imo. It could obscure things. Also, Michael's sense of humour was incredibly juvenile and boring so that was a pain to sit through. What, are you 5 years old, Michael? Gah! So he did push us, in different ways.

But that someone could bring together ballet, punk, rock n' roll, wildness, genius, an explosion of colour, exquisite beauty, pantomime, loudness (his shows were like gigs and he would have a band onstage with the dancers) - all of that in one show. I had never seen anything like it. I had never seen anyone do that. I'm not saying he was 100% original. No-one ever is. But the ballet & punk combination, no-one else was doing it at that time, iirc. I can't think of anyone else who was doing full-length ballets like that. You had classical ballet, contemporary ballet and contemporary dance. And Michael was all of that but also something else entirely. Most of his contemporaries were presenting an evening programme consisting of 2 or 3 short pieces. Which is perfectly fine. But Michael had other ideas.

god, I'm rambling which wasn't the intention, lol. :ROFLMAO:

No. Boris needs no particular reason to get dancing.

Just for the sake of clarity, I was in this frame of mind when I posted my little question. I was kinda channelling the late, great, one-and-only June Allyson playing Jo in Little Women. The best ever version, imo.

It's still making me think of Janet in Scream. I can't do that thing where you post a YT vid and set the timer to start exactly where you want it. So, time stamp for the bit I mean is 1m 16s where she's bored and looking at her nails. Even the next bit, where she gets up out of the chair and walks off, it's all part of it. Whether it matches the nail emoji I don't know but this is what it brings to my mind.
