Writing about Running

A diary, mostly about running, by Aseem Vadehra

Because of long haul travel, I couldn’t run today. At any rate I had switched out the runs in accordance with travel but I was still hoping to sneak in a run upon arrival in France.

It didn’t happen but thanks to my friend Aditi, I got my dose of seeing the physicality of Akram Khan’s Gigenis on stage.

The dance-drama was gripping, the live music was fabulous and seeing the strength and movement on stage caught my breath and imagination.

The athletic and creative prowess of the dancers from different strains of Indian classical dance – I am sure it is a physical effort and training of its own magnificent accord.

Tomorrow I will do my long run, here in Provence.
