DANCE OF 1000 HANDS...
Read the paragraph below FIRST before you watch the video
(& turn-on speakers) 
There is an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, which is
making the rounds across the net. Considering the tight coordination required,
their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all deaf.
Yes, you read correctly All 21 of the dancers are complete deaf-mutes.
Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage,
these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate
and stirring. Its first major international debut was in Athens at the closing
ceremonies for the 2004 Paralympics.

But it had long been in the repertoire of the Chinese Disabled People's
Performing Art Troupe and had traveled to more than 40 countries.  Its lead
dancer is 29 year old Tai Lihua, who has a BA from the Hubei Fine Arts Institute.
The video was recorded in Beijing during the Spring Festival this year.

A homage to Goddess 'Saraswathy', Wathupitiwala, Sri Lanka.

The beginning
The end

Me and my wife were invited to witness a cultural programme put up by the staff of the Wathupitiwala Base Hospital. It started at 6.30pm and ended around 9.30pm of the 29th May 2012. I videoed this on my Fuju HS20 camera. It was a lovely performance. I was really moved by it. It was a revelation of the talent present among the young Doctors, Nurses and ancillary staff. Please watch the dance sequence on the video below. Listen to the recorded song sung by Pandith W D Amaradewa. Listen to the words and their meaning. I am sure that you will enjoy it.
