  • Members of the Rajasthani Kamar tribe perform the Tera Tali which is an elaborate ritual with many elements of dance. It is generally performed by two or three women who sit on the ground. Manjiras, or small metal cymbals are tied to different parts of the body, mostly the legs, and with a cymbal in either hand the dancer strikes these in rhythm. The head is covered with a veil, and at times a small sword is clenched between the teeth and an ornamental pot balanced on the head.  This was a special performance for an Elderhostel tour group in a shady grove of mango trees north of Udaipur.

  • Through the display window of the gallery of Monika Spruth and Philomene Magers, London, during a show of new photos by Cindy Sherman, whose figure is seen in over life size enlargement on the walls.  They are so placed in a black-and-white background landscape that the three standing figures, each in a different costume, seem to float. I have admired Sherman's work and went specifically to look at this show.  It was to me more like a performance than an exhibition of work one might want to own.  Nevertheless an interesting view at dusk.  The street behind is reflected faintly in the windows too.
