Photos - Panti Asuhan dan Tari Jawa










Hiya,



Well it's almost time to go home but I'm in deep denial about that so here are some photos!

These are from an orphanage trip/donation drive some of us in the ACICIS crew did, plus Tari Jawa! That's right, 6 of us shuffled on stage clad head to toe in batik, make up and miscellaneous hair pieces to try and get our traditional Javanese dance groove on. Tari Jawa is a very slow groove set to gamelan music. We spent many Friday afternoons trying to get our heads around this very different and intricate kind of dance. Go us! 3 hours getting ready guys - 1 hr for make up, one for hair, one for clothes. There was a team of 6 or so people to help us get ready, hats off to them for somehow sticking a fake black hairpiece to the back of my head. We were even given corsets to wear underneath, aduh!















prior to costuming, many hours were spent in rehearsal jiggling our heads from side to side.
