The New Dance
is a trapezoid, with the corps
split & aligned in parallel while
the principals follow their own
appointed steps at both ends. In
geometry are called the legs; but
that seems inappropriate for this
sort of setup where we focus on
the entire body of the soloists &
their range of movements while
the corps shifts their weight from
one foot to another, a sense of
movement while remaining in
the one spot. This new dance is
called Diamonds in the Sky With
Lucy, a psychedelic pop song ref-
erence. No mention of geometry.
The bluster of antiquity
Depends on the part of the
auditorium you're sitting in,
but Xerxes seems to get men-
tioned a lot, even though his
only contribution to the on-
going debate is an obscure
paper on how any success of
the Crusaders will eventually
lead to a Kaiserreich, especially
if they recover the Holy Grail.
A line from Cyndi Lauper (2)
Despite a full itinerary of engaging
workshops, the Rabbitohs, perhaps
the ultimate embodiment of la dolce
vita, have climbed to sixth on the
ladder. Designed to deliver a fun-
ctioning copy of the GLA gene, AI
is making them avoid indie pub-
lishing, but they've decided to take
a chance this time, since the book
combines an all-encompassing ad-
venture through Peru with the
removal of a patch of grass from
the base of the Arc de Triomphe. Re-
fill your cup, there's still time to vote
in the Grammys even though rushed
confrontations can worsen outcomes.
The birth of Cubism ficcione
Pablo Picasso's painting Les Demoiselles
d'Avignon, long considered as a sem-
inal work in a new painting style, was
originally a realistic rendition of the
eruption of Krakatoa. In the period
between its painting & its first display
protagonists of what would later become
Négritude decided that, with some modi-
fication, it could be reconstructed to be
reconstrued as a counter argument to
the painter's denial of cultural appro-
priation in his interest & use of African
elements in his preliminary sketches. His
Paris studio was burgled one night &
the changes made. In the morning, when
Picasso saw the upgraded painting, he
decided he both liked it, & saw in it
the potential of a new movement which
he could then be at the forefront of.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et sem-
per, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
