turning into a dragon

is how a friend of mine described the growth of Migritude. Despite your best efforts to make it a nice tame domestic bonsai.

Right now, the dragon is unfurling new wings. She's in motion - unstoppable, exhilarating, terrifying.

Today, we have the first rehearsal with Vidhu Singh. She's going to read the voice of The Mother, at the Oakland Museum next Friday, and record the part for us to use as voiceover in the final show.

Next week, Parijat arrives, to begin work on the movement.

Am I apprehensive about whether my own work can match the skills, experience and craft of these amazing professionals?

Nope.

I'm fucking terrified.
