Last week I was really busy near the end of the week so I wasn't able to post as I was in Florida with barely any wireless connection. My reason for being in Florida was that I had a Kung Fu Tournament in which I won 2 first place metals for my Sword and Spear form. I was really happy that I was able to get that. I was in Florida from Thursday to Tuesday Morning so I missed a class this week as well.
Last week, we reviewed a lot of things and we decided on performing on the 14th of November. This week, we started practicing a bit and I'm going to be performing as Rama for the Deer Hunting Scene. It started out alright and ended the same but it was a little hard to try and communicate without using our words but rather our bodies. We eventually got through it after about an hour but the main trouble I had was enacting Rama through movements because in the Deer Scene, he is supposed to kill the deer but he's not supposed to viciously hunt it, which is sort of contradictory to what I think of when I think of hunting. I think of killing and making sure the prey is dead because otherwise the animal could get away or attack you, but the way that Rama does things is that he pulls out the arrow after the deer is dead and he prays for it, which is respectable but it's not what I think naturally.
Another interesting point of this is my posture during the performance. While it is good posture, I've been a little tense lately just due to lack of sleep and work starting to get a little more. THe problem this presents is that it makes it more of a problem to relax when I have to hold a pose because my muscles are so tense. I'm sure I'll get it all straightened out by performance day.
I can't really think of anything else to say for today. I'll probably write more in the week when I think of it.
Until Next Time,
I'm still me
