chants for gazelle dance

Whatup villagers?




Practice these, we'll be chanting them while Nimish dances.

Here's what we have--

All of us are on stage, including Cherrie and Crystal, chanting for Nimish to enter and do his gazelle dance. He may or may not be singing before this begins.

After his dance Sita (Jack) gets excited and asks Rama (me) to get the gazelle. He prances off stage and I go looking for the gazelle, preferably taking up some time, I need to figure out a hunting dance.

Then I go off stage and Nimish mimics my voice which triggers worry and fear in Jack. Jack then begs Lakshmana (Todd) to go after me. They argue for a bit and maybe Cherrie and Crystal can shant or something in the background, while Todd draws a circle around Jack and goes off to find me.

Thats when Crystal comes in with a cloak or sheet or something over her face and plays the beggar trying to lure Jack out of the circle, when he finally does leave, she lifts her sheet and reveals her disguise just in time for Jatayu to appear and fight.

They battle and Cherrie gets beat but before Crystal drags Jack away he leaves Cherrie his jewels. I come back to find Cherrie dying with Jack and Todd nowhere in sight.

Nimish will sing whatever verses he finds/wants throughout.

PROPS WE NEED
--bowl
--jewels, a necklace or something flashy Jack can where
--sheets: which i think Francis will be able to provide from wardrobe

Our next scheduled meeting is 7pm Sunday at PBK! Contact us if you can't make it!

performances

I'm nervous about our performances. Class has definitely gotten better in terms of focus and comfort level, I like my village but I dont think were moving in the same direction in terms of our performance.

I missed one class and it seemed to throw off everything. I wish I had contacted my village beforehand, but I was not intending to be absent. Anyway, they ended up changing somethings and I was totally confused when we had to rehearse. Which was difficult since not all of us were present and we'd lost Rashmi. I hope everything works out. I really dont want to worry about this class in addition to the hundreds of other things I'm behind on. Why is it that it's impossible for me to stay on track?

I went to the Mearsheimer talk today and it was soooooo refreshing. I read his book, The Israel Lobby, and was so inspired to hear him say all that I'd been studying and believing for so long to such a large crowd. I know many people were already in agreement with his arguments, but I'm sure there were also some converts, which is great to think about. Unlike the hate speech coming to campus tomorrow sponsored by John Kennedy. Events like his depress me to no end, and as much as I wanna hear what Serge has to say, I dont. I'm too unstable at the moment to take emotional distress in such high quantities.

should i work at supercuts?

Did you know that you dont even need a license to work there? They train you and in three months, you're cutting hair! Which begs the question, why am I in college? It's a bit too late to be asking this, given I have a month till graduation, but really, why am I here? I dont know why I cant answer this genuinely, I know what I should say, but is it true?

I know my inability to explain this does not take away from the fact that I am here, that I've benefited immeasurably and formed bonds and connections with people in a way that could not have been replicated anywhere or anytime else. I might even miss this place, but I'm so ready for life outside of college. I want to stop worrying about things I dont care about and seeing people I care even less about, is that wrong? Is it so wrong for me to want to finally go to hair school? Maybe not supercuts though.
