Kanye...blah.

I don't care if Kristen McNally likes Kanye West. This project totally pisses me off. How can he spend so much money to hire a choreographers and ballerinas to performa a really bad, cliched ballet in his epically long music video? He couldn't even produce anything 'new' for the art. Just a bunch of arm waving and by-myself-in-my-bedroom dancing. I can see how the choreography could work. But the costumes — those quintessential ballerina costumes — distract from what the choreography is doing. It's two separate ideas. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but man, he should start giving his money to ballet companies and see what they do with it. Hopefully it's more draft works performances. Or Beer and Ballet @ SF Ballet. That's an excellent idea.
