At The Dowse




Saw two great exhibitions today. The Scott Eady 100 Bikes Project - strangely mesmerising to see all the brightly coloured bikes. Bedazzled is a collection of Royal NZ Ballet Costumes, designed by Kristian Fredrikson. There are costumes from a number of ballets, including Cinderella and Peter Pan. But the costumes that particularly appealed to me were the white and black swans from Swan Lake. I can't say I have much interest in ballet, but since seeing The Black Swan at the movies I have gained a slight appreciation for the art, and a working knowledge of the story of Swan Lake. Ballet lover or not, the costumes are well worth a visit.
