Happy Winter Solstice!
And on this fine day when daylight hours increase starting now, a group of fellows I’m training for The Gita are doing well. They are taking the practice as a service to Krishna. The teamwork is appreciated. The objective is to get tighter and tighter in the moves and gestures in enacting Krishna’s words and Arjuna’s reactions. It is only our 4th day in practice and there will be just one more before going on the road for six locations during this holiday time.
The Christians will be celebrating Christmas. The Jewish are rehearsing Chanuka. The Pagans, Romans, and Norsemen celebrate the Solstice. And we, the Krishna Conscious folks, remember Gita Jayanti, a conversation of deep meaning that took place at this time of year.
Our theatrical version of this conversation of the “Gita” is very physical, fast paced in spots and very provocative, philosophically. We are not professionals, but sincere, I like to think, and on that basis I feel we will stir our audiences in a positive way.
The schedule for our performances goes as follows:
Dec. 24, Ottawa, Dec. 25, Montreal, Dec. 26, Huntsville, Dec. 27, Barrie, Dec. 28, Collingwood. We finish at our homebase Toronto for January 1st. The program is called “Krishna Fest” in celebration of Krishna’s powerful message. All are welcome. There is no fee or securing of tickets although donations are welcome to cover travel expenses. The show also includes chanting and a feast for the fest.
