Anita says...December 2022


Dance there upon the shore
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet;
Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won,
And he, the best warrior, dead
And all the sheaves to bind!
What need that you should dread
The monstrous crying of wind?


- A CHILD DANCING UPON THE SHORE
William Butler Yeats

    Anita R Ratnam Akka as forthright with true facts !

    I always wondered in the process of breaking stereotypes are we making youth icons who are not consistent in their learning process under a Guru/Teacher merely 8-17months at the most and in a productive career spanning 3-5yrs having changed 3 Gurus or no Guru especially for Performing Arts.

    So ironic though born talented from the womb still needs a mother and not a teacher even if this is acceptable what about those who are consistent, follows a legacy or from a lineage, pedigree ,one who believes in loyalty ,merit and equally or more talented, will it be unfair to them!.

    How is that Artists sitting in the councils giving awards to artists lack market intelligence if the supply is more why not do background verification of candidates like in corporates to atleast verify if their tutelage in terms of knowledge and experience or certificates submitted are authentic and true, atleast in corporates you can fire the resource but an award will that be taken back ?

    Questions that will always linger in the minds ,Change in Performing Arts fraternity is it good for the relevant times we are in today , what makes these changes while there are no paradigm shifts in innovation or globalization in creativity.

    Reminds me of an grandmother's story .
    A mother who let's her son steal little by little finds him jailed for life and the question son ask's the mother Why dint you lead me in the correct path by giving me a tight slap I would have had my freedom today.

    Dance is liberation hope the meaning is understood 😆
