25/1-SF11 dance, coming

Having recieved the news last night that I am able to enroll for the American Dance Festival dance criticism workshop from late June to mid July, the whole second trip suddenly gain weight, and have at least a specific thing I could mention to others, but it is one of those making oneself more professional thing that I do not feel very comfortable with. I don't mean I do not like to learn more, and if I do not have the grant, I could not have the chance to, but still I am not sure if it is the rightful choice for me, than for example sitting in more fundmental classes for more basic things.
I have not, for example, even study dance history properly, just as the City College of SF Dept of physical education and dance's dance history class that I attended this morning, and how dare I see myself as already a dance critic, this is wholly a misunderstanding. Kicking off with dance right in the morning, today is overwhelming of dance related stuffs. After leaving the campus, I took the bus back to the Opera House to buy ticket for the SF Ballet (no will-call on web! it seems), which is going to stage Sylvia of Mark Morris' production. Then afterwards, I went to the Japan Center Kabuki Cinema to see a SFIFF film, one that I probably will not go in Hong Kong. It's hard to judge what it is about and whether it is good or bad, strange uh? (The sakura in Japan Garden is certainly beautiful, that I could be sure of, but it reminds me of the poem in city of sadness, and it is this sort of associated meaning that is meaningful to art, which is always open to interpretations.) Then I headed back to Union Square, bypassing another 2nd bkstores (which seems quite plentiful here, yet the Richter's one I just talked about is even more expensive here than the Cody's special discount!), for some commercial galleries and the Academy of Art graduations exhibitions. Finally I ended my busy day by attending the Bay Area Dance Awards Ceremony, something that I even have not been to in HK, to have a gd sense of dance in the area.
more of the tiny observations later if I still have time.
