Friday saw a wonderful display of Talents from across the world! The programmes commenced with their dance. It was mindblowing. They had these little fans in hand that they flapped open and close so much in sunc and co-ordination. All of them had the grace of their martial arts counterparts, so lithe and graceful! I don't clearly remember the other programmes in the right order. A quick recollection of the rest:
Indonesia had a wonderful dress parade. The women had exquisite ornaments that they wore on their heads! I liked their talent show too, where they performed a small piece from the Ramayana. It was the part where the monkeys find Sita (the heroine of the story) and surround her to protect her. Now the beauty of the entire piece is that the only music was the cacophonous chatter that people chant on stage. There was rhythm that made hair rise and adrenaline rush. Turkey had live music! I don't remember if it was El Salvador or Peru that stunned everyone with their dress parade. I don't think we had any of the west european countries. Oh yes, African dress parade was fantastic too. One can easily see how dresses also are only slight modifications of one another across cultures. I was surprised to see that Africans have heavy head gear for women that resemble bonnets of the English. The african talent show was energy filled and pumped with enthusiasm. So many cultures, so many talents, so many people, such beauty in difference..it is just amazing.
Promise to post the pics asa I get them, you can too feast your eyes and experience a slice of what I did!
oh yes, Indian association:For the talent show, the theme was bride and her friends teasing her before her wedding..the colors, gaiety, festivity and all. For the dress parade, we showed the five elements of nature through colors and sarees. Sans doubt, won both the dress parade and the talent show!
till later!
ps: Happy Women's Day to all the lovely women out there!
