Buenos Aires, Argentina
Meeting Talent
Juan and I took a stroll at our “Krishna
Is” drama’s break-time. I asked him what
his vocation is and he tells me he’s training up to be a clown.
Really.
Can someone make a living doing that? I
thought. Juan has so much more
potential. He’s doing fantastic as the
warrior, Arjuna, in our drama which is set to be performed this Sunday.
Back to our practice place and there I met
Laura. She’s a super talented actor on
Argentinian television. More recently,
she’s devoted herself to live theatre musicals.
Devotees tell me she is quite famous.
Laura was kind enough to watch a small
Krishna vignette. What an honour for
those of us practising! She gave her
input after she saw our troupe in action.
“Believe in what you are on the stage, then
you convince others (the audience).”
“Give more fullness in your movement,” she suggested, in an encouraging
way.
The discussion I had, to follow-up on her
fine critique, involved the person, Krishna, Himself. “What a god Krishna is! He dances, sings, is heroic, stays young
permanently. Amazing isn’t it?” I asked
her.
Meeting Him means meeting talent.
“Oh yes!” she answered agreeably. Laura is connected to Krishna-lila
(pastimes), and to chanting….
She’s also lived in Toronto for some
time. People in Argentina know her as
Laura Azcurra. It was great to have her
presence.
May the Source be with you!
