Okay, so the performance at Kimball Theater is in exactly one week! I'm very nervous. I really hope we do alright, mostly, I hope that WE feel we did well afterwards.
So, this weekend I'm going to really practice on my old man routine, and figure out the exact hand movements I want to use for the conversation. Once I've figured out what I'll do, then I'll be able to make sure the mudras are precise and can then exaggerated (right now, my mudras are done pretty close to my body, and I don't think the audience will be able to differentiate between different ones. I'll just look like I'm rolling my hands around aimlessly!).
I think we've been doing really well, all of us, on our performances. I am especially grateful for Kalyani!! SHE IS AMAZING!! She has given us so much direction for our performance, from how it should be staged and offering us example mudras to use. I think we all appreciate her guidence.
Well, I just wanted to express how I will be working hard this weekend to hammer out my part! We've all been doing so well up to now, and now that we're going into our final week before our premier performance, it's important to stay focused and bring as much as we can to our banjar and to the Ramayana. Good luck, everyone!

I'm so nervous as well! I need to practice and perfect my movements this week as well, especially transitioning from tree to not tree. But you've actually been doing very well-so no worries!

Looking back, that really was nerve racking just thinking about the performance, but I think we all did really well in it :D
