We had a wonderful afternoon, and after visiting all the rooms Maisie did not want to leave and so we did the round trip again, seeing different performers in the various roles. Yes, I took my daughter into Luminosity after having viewed it online (which, mind you gives no indication toward the power of seeing the work live) and feeling it would not be inappropriate for her to view. I thought it was a beautiful work, and like Twyla, Maisie was more concerned about the logistics, the "how" as opposed to the "why". She called it "the balancing lady". I feel it is of benefit for my daughter to see women's bodies in contexts outside of the overly sexualised mass media bombardment she is sure to encounter later in life, and I have no regrets about taking her into Luminosity. Nalina may well be correct about the work in relation to an older child however, and I did find myself wondering how older children may view the work. However, with regard to the themes of suffering, strength and life experience, my daughter sees my cesarean scarred naked body, which has carried, birthed and nursed three children, on a daily basis and views this as she did Luminosity, with an openness and acceptance that only a child could. marislucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676965808974324141noreply@blogger.com
