2009 Balispirit Festival: A Feast for the Senses
By Michele Cempaka
This year's Balispirit festival offered participants many unexpected delights with their world-class yoga, dance & music workshops. The Yoga Series was a wonderful mix of diverse yoga masters from around the world like Mark Whitwell (NZ) and Dr. Swami Shankardev Saraswati (AU) who lead stimulating workshops which introduced original yoga principles such as Pranic breathing and conscious asana practice. Katy Appleton (UK) was also a big hit. Many participants enjoyed her energetic and heartfelt approach to yoga which is a blend of old and new.
The Dance & Music Series showcased many fabulous dance and music performers like Asambai: a fantastic musician from Thailand who helped us stop the chatter of our minds with a dynamic drumming meditation workshop; Rocky Dawuni: an inspiring musician from Ghana who got everyone dancing to his upbeat and authentic Reggae music. The Living Masters Series showcased masters like Ni Ketut Airni: one of Indonesian's premier traditional Balinese dancers and founder of legong Supraba duta dance; Cudamani: a renowned Balinese dance group led a Kecak Monkey Chant Workshop which was truly exhilarating. Many participants got to experience the frenetic and powerful energy that is generated through Kecak - a dance based on a trance ritual which is primarily performed by men who percussively chant 'cak'. The Tomorrow Series (Music) showcased several talented performers from primarily Southeast Asia who are on the rise.
Festival goers were treated to a wide array of gifted artists including: Mia Palencia a beautiful songstress from Malaysia; Ganga Giri a sensational musician whose original sound combines traditional Australian Didgeridoo with heavy tribal beats; Pooja Bhatnagar: an accomplished Kathak dancer from India and many others. The festival culminated in Hari Cinta Keluarga on the final day of a truly fabulous week. Everyone was invited to participate in free workshops and groove to great music and dance performances. A wide array of child-oriented workshops were offered including family kirtan, hip hop and ecstatic dance by Ellen Watson. Hats off to Balispirit for creating yet another great festival!
