I just wanted to write a quick note because it has been a while (mostly due to frying my fish of job interviews and fall break!) In regards to my last post I incorporated most of it into a Midterm letter to our Guru.
Today was a great class!!!! I have always been afraid of the acting part of this class, the embodiment of the rasa in addition to movement and steps. BUT Kalyani was great today. Teaching us individual emotions and how to portray them. Then we partnered up and performed to each other; happiness, love, comfort, anger, disgust, worry. This embodiment of emotion and internal dialog really brought back a lot of my high school acting memories! It was so nice, plus I felt as if my partner (just met, Eric) and I really did a great job. A key to doing well and truly feeling the emotion is definently having someone there who is just as into it and serious as you are. I think we really played off of each others emotions and rasas!
Then I got to be part of the scene of Dasaratha's death. I had yet to play a role in our banjar scenes so it was exciting and I really enjoyed it! Which is a shock to me because I always was scared or embarrassed to do it, but when I did it- I loved it! My goal had originally been to support the group musically BUT hay, I have a new passion!!!
...but I always get lost when Guru gets a little deeper about meaning...
Great class. I no longer neep my nap!
