Pro Fusion

Saw "Against Time" at Nottingham Royal Concert hall yesterday. A mesmerising fusion of Street Dance and Ballet, involving English National Ballet & Flawless. It got me thinking that fusion of different cultures seems so often to be a wonderful thing, whether dance, music, food, marriage, football teams. To sit on a London Underground tube and hear the buzz of different accents, look at all those differing facial types, styles of clothing is, well, to be transported . . . but maybe the most wonderful example of fusion is the English Language, which stands as a living monument to how beautiful something that welcomes and absorbs new influences can become.
