Sunday, December 04, 2005 aaaaaaaah. 12:06 AM i'm in love. with a sexy gay male odissi dancer. *swooons* i want to screw him left right centre. (so does jeeves, we'll see who gets to him first yes? duh me. i'm hotter. hahha) *swooos again* he used to have this loong flowy hair that you'd just wanna run your hands through, but he's cut that off. but replacing that is an ultra cool funky hair style that you could stare at for hours. that grace, that swaying of the hips, that combination of male and female quality about him (so what if more female than male? huh? so?)...sigh. i was enthralled by watching him dance. and watching him. he fucking looks like ricky martin!! i think he could be the indian community's answer for ricky. oooh yea bayybee. drooolsville. odissi is such a sensual dance. it is a stark contrast with bharathanatyam due to the fluidity of its steps, and the lack of definition. b'natyam involves a lot more firmness in hands and mudras. but i so wanna learn odissi! someday...soon! (gah, wish the parents would let me.) i say that odissi is the indian salsa. hahhaa. although you don't partner up and dance, the hip movement involved (known as the tribhanghi, bhanghi meaning bend) makes odissi oh so sensual. there is a bend at the head, torso and hip, and the characteristic shifting of these three components is the main reason for odissi's fluidity. even though odissi is a graceful dance form, there are 2 aspects to it - the thandav or dancing aspect, and lasya, or the econveying of expression. both are equally plesant to watch. watching the art form just makes you want to smile and move as gracefully as those on stage. watching veshnu especially...aaaah. you could just stare!! his movements were good, but his eyes were a tad bit vacant. the meaning of the song was not cinveyed by his eyes and he had a tendency to look down a lot, so you could hardly see his eyes most of the time. but there were other things to look at so we were quite happy. like his booty. hehehee. he warmed up by the 2nd half and the item he did on saraswati was damn good, you could see that he was into it. no odissi repertoire is complete without an ashtapadhi taken from jeyadeva's geetha govindam. the main theme of this text is the love between radha and krishna. ashta means eight, and is so named as each stanza had 8 lines. the ashtapadhi chosen for tonights show was different. usually it conveys the anger/depression/sadness/happiness of radha, depending on what krishna has/ has not done. but the stanza in question was from the pov of krishna, saying that he couldn't bear the seperation from radha, and how he begs the sakhi to convince radha to come back to him. krishna has been ungrateful, and he repents keenly and awaits radha's arrival in despondence. it was how sweet. veshnu did a good job of this. yay!! kudos to veshnu! the theatre was aptly named 'the room upstairs'. it was slightly smaller than the substation, but that made the atmosphere even cosier. it was as if the whole event was just for you. of course it wasn't but theres no harm imagining right? and veshnu has such a beautiful dancer face. sigh. and he looked so good in his costumes. even though pink is a gay colour, it just suited him. odissi costumes are how nice!! so pretty. pochampalli or something. and they use silver jewellery, that is sooo much classier than gold and garish stones i swear. ugh. veshnu rocks. he's a freelance dancer. i wanna be like that and perform all i want and choreograph all i want. sigh. and i wanna screw him left right centre. hahaha. or have i mentioned that already? i shall dream about my sexy male gay odissi dancer dude. g'night. 0 comments |
