Kalki Subramaniam
A longtime wish of mine was fulfilled this April with the first workshop for our Performing Arts Troupe which was held in Kattupakkam on 2nd April. Malini Kalyanam, pottery artist and my friend was gracious enough to get nod from her team mares and offer the Sai Krupa center absolutely free for our workshop. Aurelio, my long time friend and mentor, the musician/sound expert/sound therapist came all the way from Auroville to offer us this workshop. It was a lovely moment for me to introduce my girls to Aurelio.
Very soon we all were enjoying great vibrancy. From 10 in the morning to 5 in the evening, we did several sessions on music, dance and theatre. The workshop was amazing with several planned and a few unplanned sections. The girls were introduced to more than 20 different types of musical instruments - from the flutes from Africa to the metal instruments from China - to South American Tribal instruments, we played all, we danced all. One of our team mate Kousalya had prepared lunch for us and it was delicious vegetarian lunch.
We also were divided into two different teams and each team played one small play and one music performance - spontaneously we did everything. I was happy I could invite Aurelio and give our girls world class opening on sound, music and theatre.
Now, they ask me very often, 'When is the second workshop Kalki?'.
