It's official - I'm going to KWDMS!!
http://www.kwdms9.com/index.php?action=default
I'll be teaching an onslaught of classes there, schedules coming soon, but it'll include:
- Kalari Payattu - an overview on Friday and a beat down on Sunday morning (Death by Lakshmi)
- Carnatic Music 101 - and there is a Hindustani medieval research guy, who I am dying to geek out with!!
- Bharata Natyam Next Steps - Emine is doing what I am sure will be a super intro class, so I'm picking up for people who want a bit more.
- Bharata Natyam Variaions - Emine and I are co teaching a variations class on our stylistic variations - it's almost never you get to see two Bharata Natyam SCA geeks in one place, (pretty much only when Meenakshi and I are around each other bending reality) so we're tapping that and co-teaching a sort of "you say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to" sort of class to highlight the fluidity of somethign that is often perceived and taught as a rigid form.
- A.S. Documentation/Presentation for historic performing arts - it'll be most applicable the closer you are to my expertise (Indian dance and music) but my target to focus on the most widely applicable topics - how to explain to judges who will only experience you art in a few brief minutes what they will need for considering it. Particularly when your art is coming from a non-Western context where the variations in documentation sources may be poorly understood.
I've registered and I'm pretty psyched. They've got a killer lineup for this - including several other teachers who I've greatly enjoyed learning from over the years.
