here I am experimenting with dance
and movement to some Lankan drama songs. I really
love the rain. As a little kid I remember wanting
to bathe in the rain and did. In this piece dancing
in the rain is a symbol "kumata the sobaniye kandulu salaney"
-why do you cry-
rain then is the symbol of tears and cleansing.
utilized free movement just facing the rain
facing life and depicts the character waiting
where the line between the rain and tears blur where the sad song begins,
there is no resolution. this is just is
i also like water. mermaid in the desert is the picture player--i did this the art work for that imagery and capricon is a mountain goat with a fish tail(my face and bust is from a pic taken by Hiranjan Rodrigo--other than that artwork surroundings-mertail etc are mine)
