GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

Appalachian Spring, Graham, Copland, Noguchi, Glushanok, 1958

This TV program is a collaboration of giants.
What’s there to say?
Lovely performance, well shot.

Of course, this is a must-watch.

In college we watched many dance performances.
This was an exercise in nostalgia.
Thinking of the dancers at Cal.
We’re on the other side of young.
Where are they?

Those dancers on screen are in another world now.
We all are.

There used to be appointment TV, now we watch over breakfast.
