Our Performance on Sunday

March 1, 2016 by Varsha Seshan Leave a Comment

Performing for three minutes is often more trouble than it’s worth … not this time, though.

The whole group
The whole dance troupe

People often assume that a three-minute performance is no big deal. Let’s look at it this way, though. Leaving aside the time we take to choreograph, learn, coordinate and practise, we could just look at the day we perform. On Sunday, we performed at Empress Garden for Basant Utsav. The programme started at 9 in the morning.

Wind back the clock. You need to factor in make-up, hair, costume and travel. We met at 6 to start. We got ready, made our way to Empress Garden, hung around until we performed … And before we knew it, we were off stage again.

But it was worth it simply because Empress Garden is such a lovely place to perform! Surrounded by trees, leaves crunching under our feet, a grey hornbill above us …

We were dressed and ready, well in time to take many, many photographs! Here’s just one picture of the event.
