buenos aires
buenos aires it is!!! i´m here, living it up w/ boyfriend john, wandering the streets and drinking coffee and checking things out. it´s pretty damn amazing!!!
but i´m in this stupid internet cafe right now b-c the contact improv jam i was seeking wasn´t where it was supposed to be. i guess it must´ve gotten shut down or something, which is a major drag. but i´m still hoping to get lucky b-c i´ve heard there are other jams this weekend. apparently contact is big in BA so i really don´t want to miss my chance.
john and i had the good–or bad, however you look at it–luck to catch the last performance of the city´s annual contemporary dance festival. bad b-c it was the last of some 15+ free modern dance performances, which we would´ve LOVED to have seen, but it ended on our first day here. but good b-c we took a risk and waited in line and were some of the last 10 people to get into an overflowing performance space.
the performance was ok. typically, john loved it and i was bored. as john put it, it was a trompe l´oeil piece–an illusion using bodies that were angled and bent in a way as to look like something they weren´t. women were bent in half, skirts hanging from their waists and over their heads, shoes on their hands, naked butts in the air–making them look like crazy headless creatures. here’s a photo that gives you a sense of the visuals:
later a woman bent over and hid her face under a table, so all we could see were her shoulders, back and arms, and she moved the muscles of her back to simulate a person with her legs spread, having sex. i can´t describe it–it has to be seen. and yes, i guess it was pretty unique and “innovative”, as john likes to say, though also interminably slow in places.
but it was also the icing on a rough day filled with WAY too many gorgeous women and a lot of perfect butts and breasts. Good god! I´m not the most insecure person, and john is a great boyfriend. nonetheless, no guy could avoid looking at all the amazingly beautiful women in this city, and their amazingly perfect bodies, and it eventually can be too much. that erotic show was the absolute limit.
but this is a wonderful city, FILLED with culture of all sorts, lots and lots of alternative people, music, art, and a lot of funding for the arts. each main neighborhood has its own cultural center, where there are art and photography exhibits, performance spaces, and just room to hang out. it´s amazing, and quite depressing when we compare it to dc.

Yes, yes, the dance was inventive, and I did love it, and it didn’t hurt that the dancers were naked and the choreograpohy erotically inclined, but the best dance I saw all week in Buenos Aires was an improv solo executed by Ms. Abrams at a BA music fest. We were out in the fields, sitting on the sofas that the government had placed there for people to just chill and sit beneath the southern cross (what a country!) and Amanda just felt the need to move. She just got up and started to stop and go, ebb and flow, in her characteristic soft fluid>>crescendo>>subtle stop>>resolution style that everybody began to notice. Ear perked and heads turned. The impromptu performance lasted about 5 minutes and was warmly received with applause from the star-gazing loungers. It’s funny how even in this city of hyper-culture, a lone burst of creativity expressed outside the formal stage seems a welcome anomaly. May the the Improv Fest continue and expand!!
