Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Day 30: #100daysofinnergrowth As a dancer/ artist things don’t necessarily go as planned. There are a lot of variables on a daily basis. We are at the mercy of organisers, audiences, weather, curators etc etc it is not like a regular job where we show up and do the work. We maybe willing to work, and there maybe nothing to do – Nobody would have invited us to perform. There maybe work, and we may have fallen ill – sprained an ankle, caught a fever…. I used to be very upset when I was taken away from dance when I was younger. I’d be upset with myself, irritable when a planned rehearsal/ show/ training session didn’t happen. But now, I realise this annoyance is pointless. It does nothing really… I’ve begun to be able to accept variables and embrace them with a lot more grace and humility than before. This has offered me a distance from dance that makes me respect it even more. I find myself a lot calmer and am able to take clearer decisions with respect to everything. Smiling because I had to make some decisions and everything is just fine!!
