Just when I think that I have my ballet outfits down to a science, Ballet Austin throws me a crazy, colorful curveball. I've been attending the Ballet for almost as long as I can remember, and I always enjoy myself. It's something that I look forward in the months between performances, because, well, Stephen Mills is an utter genius. Real talk.
Usually my ballet outfits fit within a confortable formula: black sheath, blazers for the chilly auditorium, heels and a clutch. However, when the ballet performance in question is a little less ballet and a little more experimental, the formula must change.
Cult of Color: Call to Color is not a traditional ballet in many senses--which is partially why I am so thrilled to be attending this weekend--and I believe that one should always dress accordingly. Bright, bright colors, with pops of white and black (as opposed to the other way around) are most fitting for this show.
When the dancers are wearing giant white headdresses, a black sheath just wont do.
