me.....a peacock?

Rev...i hope me being a peacock is a compliment(the head jabbing up gave me a headache)..that session was soo intense(jan @ pandi kutti escaped it)...the workshops we have been having this year has been rather interesting... other than madhavi mudgal, the other teachers taught us the raw quality of their dance forms..and that is where the intensity lies..

Sometimes i guess we just need to loosen up and let the body take us through the flow.. we have been so controlled and our expressions are so "poised" that it is just so so so hard to let go..

For those who have studied in sutra and those who have watched Sutra performances,dancers from ages back until now, have a certain GLANCE.. im sure all of you know THAT glance.. haha!when i had the deepavali photoshoot, i automatically had that glance for the photographer...unfortunately for commercial use,it really didnt work...

I dont think the add campaign wanted mystism of the dancer, they just wanted big happy ronald mcdonald smile.. it was a struggle for me at first, having the perception that mysteries glances are always the best..

So this means, dancers in general must learn how to switch on and switch off.. that proves to be a challenge for me..what about you guys??

Thanks to the encouragement given by mei, rev and even my mom...i am slowly using less kajal for my eyes(hoooray for me)..its hard to break old habits... and rev, thanks for not pulling out my fake eye lashes, cause the make-up artist freaking GLUED IT to my eyes... OOUCCH...

sudhesh, thanks for that lovely poem..your contributions to this blog will be appreciated even when you are thousands of miles away from KL...
