Michael Clark's dance company put together a dance performance for The Fall's songs "Copped It" (imeem) and "Ludd Gang" that conjures an unlikely fusion between rock and ballet, the likes of which the world has not seen since. The clip originally appeared on a PBS program called ''Alive From Off Center'' in 1987.
If ballet were more like this, I might consider going to see some. There doesn't appear to be an embeddable version of the video anywhere, but it's on YouTube.
(The first song contains one of the best opening lines ever: "Well I
ain't no millionaire, but I've spent more money than one's ever seen.")
