Walk like cow

"Walk like a Cow"

Today's advice, walk like a cow, in terms of speed and pace, then you see all that unfolds before you, and you are less likely to fall into a pot hole, or twist your ankle on the broken pavements, and to see the traffic coming.. and if you approach the locals in this manner, and the rickshaw drivers, they are even more warming to you, as not to push them with our hasty intent and hurried ways.

Back to the studio;

So day 2, continuing to explore and give time to process all that has risen and emerged. 

Another mentor session, today with Neel Chaudhuri, India (Dramaturgy). Neel is a playwright and director based in New Delhi. He is a Founder and Artistic Director of The Tadpole Repertory, one of Delhi’s most prominent and prolific theatre groups.

He has been with me on this journey since the first week, and has supported and questioned my work, so today he is also keen to see where this 'new' and alternative way for me to work will go, and possibly see if we return back to where we begun a week ago.. already there are circle and cycles being created, naturally, to think by accident, or simply meant to be.. nice when things come together! or at least make sense even if momentarily.

So, with the rest of this week in the studio, and next week we share our 'finished work', we have one more week that follows for technical support and final choreographic decisions before the performance happening on 

7th & 8th Feb.. 

Next week is far away, in some respect, 

and may bring me to another new beginning.. 

The aim for me is not to create a finished idea, nor here to impress myself and others, the performance is a small part of this epic tale, and I am simply interested in the steps taken heading towards that point in time; 

It is about the journey, the explorations, the curiosity, the learning, the risk taking and the people that we meet every step of the way..

and

to walk like a Cow !

Namaste
