Choreo-ed a little something out of this haunting song - @lala_atila 's rendition of Kepangku Kapang. Couldn't quite figure out whether the persona of this song is M or F, or gender neutral, so I did both 😬 First time choreoing something from scratch in more than 10 years 😭 Reimagined some classical movements and gestures to illustrate the lyrics, and secretly incorporated some #Bharatanatyam mudras. Try figuring out what I'm trying ti say in each movement (some are just bridges tho)! Lyrics translation might be slightly problematic, and perhaps a little unpolished to those more poetic than me. 😅 Coincidentally, I attended an exhibition yesterday and listened to some renowned practitioners, including my former teachers Mdm Som and Mrs Bhaskar. Rethinking whether commonly-ascribed labels of "contemporary" and "traditional" remain relevant. For example, will this item be considered "contemporary"? Or is it "traditional" despite not coming from a classical repertoire or using classical #Gamelan pieces? Might write more on FB. #tarijawa #javanesedance #dance Edit: the occasional shadows and changing exposures of the video creeps me out because this song gives me legit Pontianak Harum Sundal Malam vibes. Idk why there is shadow movement when it was broad daylight and my window is not obstructed.

🙈Okay. Here is the Bharatanatyam version of 🎶Woman by Doja Cat. 🎞Not my best take but I acknowledge this is part of my growth and it’s okay to not show perfection. 😊Hope you like it! (P.S.: I hardly use tik tok but I used it to edit the song since there was already an edited audio version.) Choreo: @__hxrini_ but I changed a lil of the mudras to make it feel a lil more me 😆 #bharatanatyam #malaysianchinese #malaysia #asiandancer #indianclassicaldance #womanbydojacat #

Letting Go of Fears & Anxiety 2nd day with Jojo Struys Sacral chakra ‘Mudra’, a Sanskrit word, means a symbolic hand gesture that has the power of producing joy and happiness. It has been proved that regular practise of mudras not only contribute to one’s overall good health but can be used as a preventive measure as well. Our hands define our karma and fingers being the power points, are a link between individual Pranic force and universal cosmic energy. The position of our hands has the ability to influence energy of our physical, emotional and spiritual body. Mudras help to link the brain to the body, soothe pain, stimulate endorphins, change the mood and increase our vitality. Mudras have been an integral part of many Hindu and Buddhist rituals. They are used extensively in Yoga, meditation and dance. Across various disciplines it is said that there exist close to 399 mudras.. It is mind blowing how different symbolic of mudras has a different impact of altering and redirecting energy flow in the entire body through acupuncture meridians, integrating your energy body into alignment of harmonious balance. Do try it at home while you can beautiful souls.Which is worth the commitment to explore deeper into your Sacral Chakra where we choose to flow through our own sensuality creations of Emotional intelligence. #Day2 #LETTINGGO #fears #anxiety #mudras #Sunshine #sacralchakra #jojostruys
