BBII is the Boston Ballet's second company and the @home performance is performed at the Boston Ballet's School of Ballet and featured a new piece and several classic pieces performed by the second company. I was super excited to get to go inside the ballet school and see such an intimate performance.
It was so neat to get to see the practice spaces and even the call sheets for the dancers. The studio the performance was held in was beautiful. When the lights went out and the city buildings came into focus in these giant windows it was magical. (I want to live in the apartments across the street- I would watch the dancing every day.)
I've never gotten to sit so close to the dancers before. You could hear every breath, every shoe push on the floor. I was just getting over being sick again and I almost skipped the performance. I'm glad I didn't. It was such a neat experience and definitely filled my ballet void between the Nutcracker and Full On Forsythe in March.
