So last weekend I had one of my huge shows for the semester. It was the one about the golden stool of the Ashanti's choreographed by my friend Diana who is in her final year of her undergraduate degree. We performed three shows as custom Thursday, Friday and Saturday. However, as I have told you about every other show here, something crazy always happens on the first night. This shows catastrophy the first night was the sound, which was playing everything but what it was supposed to be playing all at the wrong time. Kinda a mess for the dancers huh. And the drummer forgot to drum, which was exciting, and a man was supposed to play the bell in another dance and he forgot. So it was a tech dress rehearsal with a paying audience. Kinda a mess wouldn't you say! However, by the last night we pulled outselves together and ended up with a fantastic and entertaining show we could all be proud of!
this weekend I have another show, in which I am Ananse the spider King, as well as a civilian. I am very excited about my roll but I also have to say that I will be glad when this show is over! being in three very intense productions this semester (while very fun) have become rather overwhelming especially in the time of finals and I am very excited for my trip however brief it is to Togo and Benin next week. I feel like some time outside of Accra is very well deserved at this point!
I will see some of you very soon and I will see some of you in a month. Keep in mind I am freaking out about your gifts, and I am also freaking out about how to take Ghana home with me!!!
lots of love!
