Nova Prata recollections...
Day 2. Friday
This was our first Nations Nite of the Festival. The day started out with an early 9am rehearsal. Later on the day, we had our first bus ride to the Gymnasium for a sound check and some blocking? The performance went really well and the crowd really loved maglalatik. They actually loved all the dances. Later on that nite, the local Brasilian group had Nations Nite, which is a party and a small edumacation of the culture.
Day 3. Saturday
Again, had another early rehearsal. Throughout the day, some of us walked around downtown, had ice cream, checked out some of the local shops, and just soaked in the environment. We had another soundcheck, but this time it was for percussion. The musicians had to strike the floor for the percussion instruments since the spots were gonna be the permanent placing for the kulintangs, agong, drum, etc.
later on that nite, we did Lumad 1. It went pretty well and the crowd loved bogobo. During Blit, I landed straight on my knee after launching off Christian's back. I guess I didn't spot my turn and didn't land correctly. The result of the incorrect landing was a huge nasty bruise. Later on in the week, the bruise got really nasty looking. This bruise would be the first of a two-part injury
series...heheheh.
more recollections later...gonna rest. still not feelin that great. boo.
