Performance day
Jan/17/2008 21:55
We arrived at the theater about 10:30 and we were
there until after the performance. My duties
included security detail, last minute music CD
production, videographer, and Master of
Ceremonies. As Master of Ceremonies I stood in
the dark using a light on the lighting board to
read a description of each dance, the poems some
of the pieces were based on, and the names of all
the dancers before each piece was performed. The
hardest part was the names of the Indian dancers
but I practiced the pronunciation with the
dancers before hand so I think I did OK.
John Britto had some huge posters made up to place outside and inside the theater. The dancers were quite flattered. after the performance we all got T-shirts and a nice plaque that mimicked the posters.
The performance went really well and there were several nice reviews in the Chennai papers.
