Khon Dance in 1931
Posted by 'Pong in Performance on 01/06/2010
I am doing some research for an adaptation of Ramayana and find this intriguing video of Thai Classical Khon in 1931. And it blows me away.
Brief explanation: Indrachit, a son of Totsakan, is called for a battle with Laxman. He transforms himself as Indra and rides Erawan Elephant. Hanuman fights and beheads its neck.

I actually shot three birds in one stone on the first night photographing for Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival this year. There were two performances and a dance party happened in one night: The Undressing Room, Betcha Thought I Was Dead and an Arabic theme party—Ya Liel.

I will not be photographing Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras this year. The works from the previous year will be exhibited as slideshows in until new ones roll in. And there will be an exclusive show that is not included in Mardi Gras event calendar in World Square. More details to come.
The hi-light of my Mardi Gras work would be the Harbour Party. Once I press the button and got this series of light and shadow on the dance floor, I knew that it would be a good slideshow. By the time I got my head around to put them together would be too late. So I held this work until now.

The official Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras has to wrap up with the party. This is a big dose for an excessive life of modern world.

This is it, another year of Mardi Gras. This year it celebrates 30th anniversary. On the second time I am involved as a photographer, it intrigues my thoughts in many ways. I will sum up what I have experienced the festival later.
Mardi Gras Harbour Party

Another major event of Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival and the last key party before the final Mardi Gras Dance Party rolls in, Mardi Gras Harbour Party, Sol Y Luna.
The simple concept is just having fun while watching sunset in Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens with Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House in the background. Moreover, it is special this year when two cruise liners, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth 2, rendezvous. And this is the last time that QE2 cruises in the Harbour before her retirement.
