Today was my first day at Darpana. Being a part of it makes you wish there was something similar in Calcutta; it celebrates the performing arts in its quintessential form: a way of life that is seamlessly intertwined with the natural world. Naturally, being a theatre person, I was immediately drawn to Darpana’s open-air performing space. I doubt I’ll get to see a performance there while I’m here but I wish I could.

Since I came in the afternoon, I took part only in the evening session (Kalari). I’ve always wanted to learn a traditional form of physical movement and I’m glad I’m getting the opportunity to do so.

Aaj ka class mujhe bahut achha laga kyunke aaj hamara pehla din tha class ka. Jo kuch aaj hum sikha hain woh sab naya hain. Kis movement ko kis tarah se use karenge ye humne sikha. Apne movement ke zariye kis tarah se apne lakshya ko dekhna, uske saath kis tarah se kaam karma ye humne sikha. Kuch kuch fun movements sikha jo humare client-ke liye bahut zaruri hain aur apne client ko kis tarah se movement ke zariye aanand denge yea hum ne sikha.aaj ka khana bhi aacha tha sab mil ke aanand kiye sab ke saat. Aaj ka class hume bhout aacha laga. Haam hamari process bhi Darpanaki artist logoke saath share kis. Haam ek session bhi lia…..
