The Boards, Tuesday, All Day

[lioness-courant.livejournal.com]

"A reverence!" Lady Ghanima called at the front of the class, while her students scurried to formation.  Since it was summer, many npc children of npc townies took dance classes at the theater to pass the time, although most of the were schooled off-island the rest of the year. "Third position please, heads up, shoulders back, your wrists are not scarecrows.  Connect your wrist and your fingertips to the rest of your bodies please.  And --"  

Not long after, Ghani was sitting on the steps of the building, sipping an iced spice tea and watching her charges dart through the streets back to their homes.  She had a good amount of time, now, before the evening class arrived, and she always found the sunlight soothing.

Someone jete'd past the leaving students, then flopped down in one of the chairs. "Hey, Professor. Need any work done?"

[lioness-courant.livejournal.com]

"I'm not a professor any more, Miss Kenzi," Ghanima replied out of long habit, but her eyes were sparkling out of amusement. "As to work...how are your plumbing skills? I'm afraid the sink in the girl's dressing room is leaking again."

"Meh. Better than fair. Not like I have anything else to do that won't get ... people unhappy with me," Kenzi said, censoring herself. She bounced up. "And wrenches, always fun!"

"There's always props to build, too," Ghanima said, a slight smile on her face. "I was thinking some of the older ballerinas might like doing Giselle next fall, so we'll need to make some sort of smoke-system that will cover the whole floor, not just a machine that only fills one corner."

And if Kenzi wanted to experiment with making smoke bombs, well, that was part of what they were working on!

"Oh gosh. Hmmm." Kenzi's eyes lit up, and she tapped her lips with one finger. "And possibly some more of that ice stuff?" For, you know. Frosty decorations. And if some of that was distributed places where people would trip on it, well. Suffering for art, right?

"Dry ice? I could look into buying some, but we'll have to figure out how to store it," Ghanima pointed out, which was not a no. At all.

[regretiz4u.livejournal.com]

Yay! Lady Ghanima rocked! "That'll work. I bet I can find someplace." Like, say, the back freezer at Caritas, maybe. Or somewhere else; Kenzi had hidey-holes in odd places. "And I'll get some painting done before I go, too. Maybe join practice, if you want help herding the kiddies."

What? It wasn't like Kenzi wanted to go back to the dorms and the happy shiny people there.

"Did you want to teach creative movement to the babies next fall?" Ghanima asked. "It would free up my schedule, and I'm sure the children would adore you." And Kenzi's wig collection. "You could teach them to be trees in the wind."

Kenzi rose up on her toes and twirled, grinning. "That would be awesome! Way more fun than the stuff I'm learning." Ahem. "Not that learning has to be fun all the time, of course." She grinned, already thinking of teaching the kids how to find the beat, and the music she could maybe bring in and the tutus she'd wear. It would be appropriate, if she was teaching dance! No one could tell her it wasn't!

By some strange coincidence of timing, a dark-haired girl headed towards Ghanima just as the last student left.

"Lovely day, isn't it?" she asked Ghanima pleasantly.

"It is," Ghanima said agreeably, looking up at the sun with a sign. "Perhaps tomorrow I should have some of the classes practice out in the park. Culture and nature are both good for the soul, you know."

Karla spread her hands to encompass the entire town, providing a quick counter-sign in response. "They might enjoy the opportunity to spend some time out of the stuffy confines of a building," she agreed. "About how long are your classes again? Too long outside and they might get overheated."

[lioness-courant.livejournal.com]

"Only an hour and a half, and your sun is so weak here," Ghanima sighed, shaking her head. "I keep forgetting, I think, how fragile humanity is at this stage, but seeing them slip through the trees for practice would be lovely."

"Are you interested in checking out our class schedules? We have a number of different options, and I have a flyer inside."

[poison-pretty.livejournal.com]

"I think that would be very nice," Karla said with another pleasant smile. Pleasant and neutral and how both grated on her. "I'm certain the Boards has much to offer a person of discerning culture."

Yakko ran up, grabbed a nearby shrubbery, did a quick tango with it before kissing a branch that had been serving as a hand, then ran off.

Sometimes you had to expect a place of dancing to attract random dances.

"You forgot the rose in your teeth, Mr. Warner!" Ghanima called after him, laughing. When one had random dancing, one must always enjoy it, after all.
