This week we went to see a play with two different acts in it. It was a very corporal performance, resembled more of a dance performance rather that conventional theatre. The first thing that I experiened was a 10-or-more  minute waiting time before the play started, and eventhough I wasnt particularily bothered by it, I think it is important to start a performance on time, to show repect for the audience that is paying to watch you perform. The play itself was visually attractive in my opinion, the performance as a "dance" was well executed, and the fact that I didnt really like it that much was due to me expecting to see something more like a play. The first part involved a female performer and two other actors, and they seemed to have a certain type of relationship, or attraction at least, the bond between them was the only thing I could work out of the performance, but all of the movements were well synched and the flow of movement seemed natural. The second performance only included the two previous male actors, and they seemed to again, have a sort of relationship, and the mood seemed to be one of comedy at times, and the blend of the performance, lights and David Bowie songs did seem to give a sort of 'nice' result. One thing I feel the need to emphazise would be the use of the lights, because in my opinion was one of the highlights of the performance, the way they were set to be invisible at times and then when actors came closer the blue lights would bathe them, or when out of nowhere the lights shut down and only left lower ones on, so that the floor turned darker and a different mood was created, overall the lights were just amazing. I didnt fully understand the play, if there was a sort of objective meaning anyways, but still found it interesting to watch, for it was a change from all of the other more conventional types of theatrical performance.

What is the relationship between dance and acting? did one influence the other, or are they totally different types of performance that sprung independently?
