    The ability of some human bodies astounds me.

    Pp-complexions


    Put simply: Complexions was amazing.
     
    The way in which the dancers twisted and contorted their bodies was mind-boggling. It is hard to imagine what they can't do with their limbs.
     
    The evening started humorously when I thought my mum and I should hit up a party going on. In my email invite I got told there was a wee function to go to and we were early so I thought why not?
    Let's be honest, I would turn up to the opening of an envelope.
     
    So when I saw the red carpet I went up it, and into a room of glorious champagne and canapes.
    A few speeches later it became clear that all of these people had contributed to the Aotea Centre Board.... and I had not.
    Was a tad awkward turtle so we slipped out to another party.
     
    When the show first started I have to say I wasn't particularly enthused. I was amazed but not entirely entertained. But it was just a ruse, as the show went on it got better and better.
    The dancers leapt and bounded with both poise and vivaciousness . As the actor sitting behind me said "I don't really understand what they are saying but gosh they are great".
     
    Their final act which used music by U2 was spectacular. You could literally see the muscles pulsing and extending, it was incredible.
     
    Quite rightly so, the company got a standing ovation.
     
    Maybe the premise of it was complex but the beauty of what they were doing was simple.
     
    Throughly recommend you get along to it.

    The blog was set up in 2010, as a project sending six arts novices to a whole range of cultural events. They tried EVERYTHING and learned a lot. We continue to change things up - getting more bloggers on board, including insider blogs, artist Q&As and background stories.
