Ethnomusicologist

We started the afternoon yesterday with a visit to the Lakeside Little Theatre.  Scheduled were a production meeting, a meeting with Abril our lead puppeteer, and then a visit from our Danzantes to introduce the space where they will be performing.

Props and toys come in all sorts of packages.  Iker rehearsed our "abundance" scene through play.

Then it was time to head to the plaza for our first pre-hispanic drumming class taught by noted ethnomusiciologist Cristobal Duran.

A little rain did not detour our efforts....it just delayed them a bit.

As naturally as the rain came and went, the students gathered and the class began.

The drumming class melded into the dance class beautifully.
