A new moon phases. Released from her iridescent shroud she is free to dance and play. Freedom is a precious thing when time is short but tempted by night’s mysterious characters, a sky with no moon could spell disaster for us all. When the shadows are at play then temptations may have their way. The new day hangs in the balance. The darkest night of the lunar calendar, the night of no moon is upon us all – Amaas.
A fusion of contemporary dance, South Asian dance and circus, with fire eating, stilts and more, Amaas will dazzle.
The above is a prelude to possibly the most thrilling dance show I will have ever done! Simply cannot wait! Rehearsing for it - excited and nervous! Our choreographer, Aakash, is one of the UK's most prolific and beautiful dancers and it's always an absolute privilege to be working with him, especially on a project like Amaas. I hope we can live up to his name - no easy feat considering this is the guy who's danced with some of the most high-profile names in the dance industry - and moves like an absolute dream!
Dazzling. Spectacular. Amaas...
Taking place Sunday, October 30, 2011 at Curve Theatre, Leicester. Come and feel the rhythm...
I'm livin' the dream - the dance dream!

Wish you all the best for the show and happy to read you are living the dream full of beautiful dances.
ReplyDeleteAs German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once said: "“I would believe only in a god who could dance,”
I read the war of words, on your post today.
ReplyDeleteI apologise if it were my rash words that instigated everything.
For some reason I got ever so defensive and protective.
I was wrong to get involved the way I did. I really thought I was doing the right thing, standing up for what I believed to be right and wrong.
It was just so hard to stand idly by, watching a good person being attacked and ‘picked’ upon, the way you were.
You have every right to self express in whatever way you desire. No one should have the right to judge that.
I don’t need to explain myself, but in this instance I really should.
I have no ploy, nor any ulterior motives, to my retorts and comments on your posts.
You’re a married woman Shruti, this November you shall be no doubt celebrating your 2 year wedding anniversary.
I have more decency than to prey upon a married lady.
Back in June, I broke up with my girlfriend. I suffered quite a lot (I described how I felt in one of your posts).
Then after weeks of hurt and pain, I come across your blog.
And the things you had written about, and the things you felt, connected so strangely with me.
I guess your blog became somewhat of therapy for me.
With the hardships you’ve been through, you always managed to express such tenacity in your behaviour.
This made me believe I too can be tenacious if I tried.
I got so much strength from your writings, alongside hope.
I felt as though I wasn’t alone in how I felt about certain things, and that kind of helped.
It still feels ever so surreal that I know who you actually are. These coincidences just don’t happen.
I’m such a private person, keeping my innermost feelings to myself.
And just like you, I wear a mask in front of everyone really.
I’ve only really ever truly exposed myself to my recent ex-girlfriend, and that’s why the break-up hurt so much. She really is a beautiful person (I described her once).
Yet, it became so easy to show YOU who I really am.
And that’s why I continued to read and comment. I didn’t need to hide anymore, and by being open about who I really am, may be I would heal.
I want to offer my sincerest apologies for my comments, causing such ferocity upon your blog.
I also apologise for the grief you’ve had to endure from all this.
I won’t be commenting anymore.
Good luck with your dance recital, I’m more than confident it will be a huge success.
Vipul, you have no reason to apologise in the slightest. You stood up for what was right. She was a horrible person, clearly with some issues she needed to sort out. And she decided to take it out on here.
ReplyDeleteIf you're going to stop commenting on the basis of one insensitive, narrow minded person, then you're not the person I thought you were :) There was no grief endured - her comments were mildly amusing because of how ignorant and judgemental they were.
I would hope more than anything, you continue to comment. We need to stand up to people like her, as you very rightly did, to show that she cannot just bully people into silence. She tried to do that with me by telling me I was "airing my dirty laundry in public" when in actual fact, if you look over my entries, never do I mention people or places by name. And even if I choose to do that (which I wouldn't) it is absolutely nothing to do with her. It is not personal to her and if she doesn't like it, she shouldn't read it.
The best thing to do with people like her is simply to ignore them. Carry on with your life as normal, don't give them any more head space and eventually they'll sink into oblivion! There was no grief caused from your side at all, she's just not a very nice person. Please don't bother yourself with her as she's not worth it. I am just glad my blog has helped someone in the world - that's far more than what I expected it to do and I hope it continues to do so.
Spirit Soul - thank you very much. I love that quote - he must love Nataraja then!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Shruti, but have a look at the url attached to my name in the previous entry. The ultimate dancing duo who even Lord Nataraja is mesmerised by is depicted dancing :)
