So that’s it for a while – on Wednesday we did the last performance (for the foreseeable future, at least) of Mark Morris’s Drink to me only with thine eyes in the New Theatre, Oxford. Packing away my tails on the weekend, I felt just a little wistful. The weird thing about performing is that it’s a strain to keep yourself on the edge, but at the same time, on the edge is a great place to be. It’s been a great year, lovely to be working with fabulous dancers and the famously wonderful ENB crew; I don’t know a more supportive lot of people anywhere. There aren’t many pieces like Drink, so it’ll be a hard act to follow. As it was the last show for a while, I was going to ask Daria Klimentová for some photos for the album (the one on the left is hers, too) – but I didn’t have to, she was there before the show went up, and hopefully I’ll have a nice souvenir for the wall (as well as Daria’s 2004 Dance Calendar)
