all possible light
all needed light

yeah

full moon-mid of the year!

This Sunday (NY) June 7th, full moon,
as part of my theatre training I will fast.
I follow this fasting, as my elders related
to the soil-every full moon
-as I am related to my craft..
And the work is nurture...
The soul guides.
The mind gets sharper.
and the needed memory for new texts, somehow
get recharged.
The entire system rests.
Rests the entire system.
Entire rests, the system...
and more possibility.

Hope one day you join me in this fasting,
as part of your theatre training.

all possible light all needed light

That's the reason...

and 'tis the season for change...

Change IS the season.

Lovely to read your posts Josefina! And congratulations Ay Ombe - we share in the celebrations from this part of the world.

For my part I'm keeping the lesson of continuation that you left with me. I'm writing pretty regularly now and it's making me so happy.

So we continue!

On the daily practice

Yes theatre is nurtured by every single act of life.
Every day.
Every time.
All perceived stimuli are origin of texts, gestures, pauses,
music, lighting, training, songs, scenography...
Then what else can we invite our beings to be
but alert and alive.

Now that the fever is gone

Distance, time, agenda, family matters, personal quests, collective urgency...
all shake us up to a reality check.
Now that all is setting in...
Now that routine/ritual have set in....

What is constant with you,
Mother Flowers,
from the experienced lived during the workshop
(words heard, movements explored...)?

Now that the infatuation is gone
Now that the fever has lowered its degrees
How warmed and transformed is the Mother Flower
path?

Alert
Alive

all possible light all needed light

Always

http://freetemplates.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-blogger-template-lotus-flower.html

Of Mongrels and Martial Arts

(Taking my cue from Shreya below)

1. Kickboxing (10 mins. a day)

2. Playing Catch-Catch everyday! xD

3. Taking better care of my two dogs.

4. Yoga (10 mins again! :P)

5. Cooking

6. Smiling more

Peace and Love

Oh, and piccies here too: The black cutie is Ebony (4 yrs old now) and the one below, chilling out on a tramping trail in Coorg, is Poppins (1/12 yrs.)

What have you been doing since the workshop?

This is what I've been doing:

1. Rejoined Carnatic vocal classes
2. Have started the initial stages of a project headed by a college senior, in which I'll help to create and teach in awareness workshops for young people
3. Teaching a nine year old girl.
4. Taking care of my new kitten.

Here's a picture

Seeing as the blogger template is proving extremely difficult to change, I registered this just in case!

What do you guys think?

Also invited are some people who were not part of the workshop but watched it. Their contribution is eagerly awaited!

Cheers,

Josefina and the Mother Flowers

"Precision, Precision, Learn how to learn, learn how to learn, it's not acting, it's being, say Papa!, Lord have mercy, Bend your knees, It's my tradition :) Gotta follow the tradition, surprise your body, only then you will surprise the audience, but don't expect any applause, You! where do you think you are? Bend your knees! Is that 90 degrees in India? That's not 90 degrees even in La Romana, I love you motherf---lowers."

5 days of Being. Precision. Sharpness. A whole lotta love.

Presenting Josefina Baez and her troupe, the Mother Flowers.
