Paper plate - free
Time to execute - 2.5 hours
Joy of having ducky pasties - priceless
There is definitely something theraputic about making things with shiny fabric.
Not to mention the added joy of having spent the first part of the evening with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jezebelpussycat, my apprentice. This is the first class we've had since Pennsic. Apparently I kicked her ass - but in a good way. We're starting on the traditional Indian dance workout, instead of learning a single choreography at a breakneck speed. And that starts with tattu adavu - a way to practice the most basic step - a stomp in place - by doing various repetitions on each foot in slow, medium and fast. It takes - if you do it back to back to back - about 10 minutes. It took us about 30 or so - given that we broke, stretched, and such. It's hard.
We also hit some abhinaya work - a review/relearn of the sabha slokum - a painfully documentable peice from the Abhinaya Darpana. It typically goes before the choreography we just worked on, so it's a good place to start. This abhinaya stuff is actually kind of new for us. We touched on it a long time ago, but never got so hard core. Since the next heavy-duty peice is also abhinaya, it's nice to start with a slokum that is both short and not quite so emotional to get the juices flowing.
Grabbed a nice dinner withpax_industria and then home for the duckies. Probably should have paid bills, but I really wanted these duckies.
Today - work, dentist, swing by dance supply store and get more sequin trim, home & practice, probably with a little bit of homework reading over lunch and dinner. Hopefully will also be able to make a start on the damn bills.
