This week was our second rehearsal learning the compiled
Afghan-American dance. We held our rehearsal at a different time than usual
(one hour delayed) because I was presenting research on Afghan education
systems during our usual rehearsal period. Whether because of the time change
of the rehearsal or because of other reasons, only two individuals were able to
attend, and one for the duration of the entire two hours, Though admittedly
discouraged at first, I was delighted to have had the opportunity to rehearse
individually with the participant who was able to stay. We were able to try
different things and really focus on the technical aspects of the dance. By the
end our legs had certainly gotten a good amount of exercise from all the
squatting practice from the Pubjab section of the dance!
As a facilitator, it certainly is a learning experience in
coming to realize the challenge in organizing meetings with many people when we
all have very different schedules. I look forward to next week’s adventure and
continuing to learn from the participants that make this project possible!
