This blog was created as a requirement for a class called "Introduction to Classical Asian Performances." The class is an "introductory cultural, historical, and practical study of artistic process and performance technique of selected classical indigenous Asian performance traditions." Because it includes movements spiritual and religious in origin, it involves more than just learning steps. This blog is an outlet for my spiritual and intellectual experiences in this class.

It's been so long...

Well I told myself that I would blog tonight, but it is getting late and I am now exhausted (not a good state to be in to blog). I decided I should at least say a few things since it has been so so long since I've last written a blog, even if this doesn't go very deep or touch on some of the things we've been asked to blog about.

I apologize to my village and to the rest of the class for not being in class Thursday (it is now Friday). I just figured it would be better for me to rest up with me being sick or having allergies. Either way I know I am running myself down, which is not good for the start of the roughest part of the semester.

I have had a chance to catch up on some blog reading and I just thank everyone for making me not feel so bad for having a lag in blogging.

To be honest, I just feel very over whelmed with using the material to give a performance. I want to use the steps Sravya has taught us, but right now I just don't see a way to really put it in, besides using the hand mudras. I guess the biggest problem is that I feel I have a total lack in mastery of the material. I should work on that in the next couple of weeks. I feel confident, however, that it will all work out, especially with our village working together.
