Anjali's Response to June Assigment

Translating one sahityam (verse's) line from Anandabhairavi Varnam. The heroine says, "My Lord, please come quickly so that we can be united once again. Love in separation.

    The breath and then dropping the head and chest to circle around yourself is quite a compelling movement. It amplifies the feeling of unrequited love, and adds a sense of urgency. I enjoy how they build throughout the piece and let us in to your inner emotional landscape. It’s like you’re telling him something then the emotions take over. Like I’m peering into a private world of sweet, semi-passionate, love and expectation, peppered with slight disappointment. But the over all feeling I’m drawn into is one of elated love/desire. The thumb piercing the heart is especially dramatic/erotic. And the following sway of the hips as you sink could potentially be slowed down, or experienced more sensually depending on your intention.


    The only movement that stands out to me as not quite fitting is the handstand (comes twice, yes?) My thought is if it was performed with a different intention….it might work….like “my word’s turned upside down without you” or something. There was a movement similar to the handstand which is more like a curve over and breath back up that works better for me.

    I really enjoyed the addition of rhythm and how it added to the build of the piece
    The throat moment stood out, very dramatic. I couldn’t place why it was there, but didn’t bother me like handstand. Perhaps it’s the poison of missing, or worry that something happened to him? Jealousy?
