If you're interested in learning Javanese gamelan, come along! Danny. Rasa Unmasked is a bold, vibrant and sensuous new contemporary dance work by Anandavalli & Australias Lingalayam Dance Company in collaboration with Ramli Ibrahim & Malaysias Sutra Dance Theatre and American/Chinese composer/musician, Alex Dea. Alex Deas stunning soundscape is played live, incorporating the Javanese gamelan, Carnatic Indian vocals and percussion. Rasa Unmasked brings three of the Asian diasporas leading talents together to explore the nine key sentiments of rasa: sringara (love), veera (heroism or valour), karuna (compassion), adbhuta (wonderment), hasya (mirth and laughter), bhaya (terror), bibhatsa (disgust), raudra (anger) and shanta (serenity). Rasa Unmasked promises to be an event that offers you a universal vision of humanity's contemporary, emotional landscape.
