The really interesting thing to me is that the complaints about BD today aren’t really so different from the complaints people had 10, 20, 30 years ago, IMO. I’m sure some of you remember ye olde “park and blow” complaints in the ‘90s etc.: BD never formed a corps identity around breakneck drill like the Cadets in that decade or the Cavies in the next decade; they did block rotations then and are still doing them now. Or what about the “chop and bop” complaints; people have, for literally decades, complained about BD’s music arrangements being too scattered, repetitive, technical, lacking in fully developed musical ideas, etc etc etc. Flaming on BD is so 2010. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the show live and the props are quite familiar to me. I would encourage you to look up his 1953 cut-out called The Snail and you will see something striking and familiar. The piece is in the Tate Collection in London and is an example of his final body of works. I had no idea about the painting, and just looked it up. The cut-outs on the field Saturday night makes so much sense now. Brilliant. Edited June 20, 2023 by Chief Guns 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cut-outs on the field Saturday night makes so much sense now. Brilliant. Not a painting. It's a cut-out. It's what Matisse in the frail state of his final years could physically do, with scissors. It speaks a lot to the poem by Ludwig Wittgenstein heard recited in the beginning of the show. I have the 4K version of the opener and would be happy to share it with you. That's the thing about BD shows, it's got layers and layers of design and uncovering them is always part of the intrigue. It's why Cabaret Voltaire (about Dadaism) was my favorite show. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love having a Los Angeles public school education lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFA1970 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 This is the same topic from 2022 after their community show. I remember some on here saying stuff like it’s not a top 3 show ect. So how did that evolved..,,undefeated and not really challenged except one time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
