a chosen path

| Day - not sure |

I have lost a few days, not hard in this city, this city never stops. That constant vibration doesnt allow you to fully rest, after a few weeks of little sleep, moving days, the body was bound to find its limit.. and so it decided to shut down, and so I have been at rest for 2 days

Able though thank goodness to find the energy to attend a wonderful book event on Saturday, where a German artist has collaborated with a local print makers, where all books are hand crafted and created with love - was a beautiful experience to be there in the tiny factory with the workers, the proud owner, family and the German team.. a simple delight to buy one of these small precious books, an a-z guide of the city Bangalore. Was able watch a 10mins film they documented showing the long process with numerous procedures, and uncountable people involved..

 | Sunday 18th |

Back to the studio to work - a healthy 4pm start

Today Sound; working with Martin Lutz from Berlin
we tried the idea of Microphone, mm, but both unable to approach it, so it remained watching on the side lines..

sound and technical 
problems!!

And instead came up with a new score that is in keeping with the next stepping stone of my process an exploration that is relevant to me being here, this was inspired by some invaluable advice on Saturday night at the printers.. 

 

'What ever you came here with, forget it and leave it behind, let being here tell you what it is you need to discover, and therefore share..'

 

an introduction with Meryl Tankard

 

 

 A most delightful surprise meeting in the back streets of Bangalore, in a printing factory of all wonderful if not bonkers places, I was introduced to renowned Australian Dancer/Choreographer Meryl Tankard, a former dancer with Pina Bausch, a by chance meeting before she went off on her travels further South to Kerala.. Thank you, another Mentor in passing!

 And so the dance piece continues, returning back to where I started on day 1, at the beginning, but this time I know where it is I wish to go, deeper into my surroundings, so lets see where this new direction takes me.. 

 

Also this week very much looking forward to the safe arrival of Morag Deyes, another mentor and not to forget reason I am gratefully and gleefully here, and thanks to her visa coming through, giving her a way back here to Mother India..

 

 

 Namaste
