ok i got back a little while ago. SUNDANCe was aaaawesome. hnoestly, i loooove aboriginal culture. i really do. this even was the first time i ever did see a powwow dance live. it was amaaaazinnnggg!! their costumes were lovely-so bright and beautiful and feathery! and it was breathtaking! what would've made it better: if the whole crew was more organized, and the dancers less sarcastic when they not dancing. anyway... the other thing that really stuck out were the throat singers. that was really something! i've never heard anything like it! it these two women, and basically they throat singing to each other. it's actual singing, but imitating sounds they hear in nature. it was weird sounding, like you'd need to cough or clear your throat or hack. and their sound was deep! but it was really really cool! Kevin's (that guy i met last week, the composer) piece was really well done too! i liked it a lot. the honest-to-god worst ending to a great show was a group of aboriginal "thugs" doing some stupid hiphop/rap thing. omg... it was pathetic. i mean, they're good... for rap, or whatever, but totally not the right time or place for that. like, i've sat thru 3 and a half hours of beautiful music, cultural dances and video excerps, and to end it, they put on some rap group? nuh-uh... not right. and i was having a headache too. and so tired.... and apparently, Jeremy's the artistic director of NUMUS. so... yes.

anyways, oh yeah, i totally forgot ACI had a website.. i used to go to that place all the time. yeah, Billy and I are talking about it. i have to check their Spring Concert date. yay i can't wait to go to that!
ok it's on May 12th.... well, 11th for the gr.9s and 10s. hee hee... but who goes to that? lol wow, i'm mean. lol whateves. anyways, so mark it on yer calendar, folks!! cuz i'm gonna be at good ol' ACI for the night! yyyyaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!
