Today was a day more of contemplation and discussion. In order to shake our slumbers, we did our usual warm up exercises with Dr. Erika Hughes. After that we sat in the same groups as we were divided yesterday. As a group, we are working on presenting Mirza Sahiba on the stage and rendering visual depiction of Lahore. Prof. Boyd Branch listened to the different narrations of Mirza Sahiba folktale that we wrote. One of our friends came up with a beautiful poetic narration of the story. We discussed the ways we can depict this folklore on stage.
Soon we were joined by the M. Phil students of Media Studies of Kinnaird College. We shared different visuals that we associate Lahore with. Everybody had her own unique way of connecting and associating with this wonderful city. Lemonade vendor under a huge shady tree, golla dandaa, shades of seasons in Lahore, rangeela rickshaw, shrines are a few images to mention. Together we worked on the images and the ways to illustrate them on stage. Exploring the technical aspect of our performance, Prof. Boyd Branch demonstrated our group that how different images can be projected on screen to get the required effect. That sight was really heartening, as we were now getting a clearer picture of what our presentation may look like. With this we called it a day. A day that started with contemplation, ended with contemplation!
