  • Morris dancers from Beorma Border Morris dancing troupe in Kings Heath walk along School Road after visiting a local friend on May Day under Coronavirus lockdown on 1st May 2020 in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. These two women from the Beorma Morris are wearing their full costumes including rags and tatters, fishnet tights and feathers, and with distinctive blackened faces. Many morris sides through history blackened their faces, and Blacking up is reputed to have been as some form of disguise because the performers many of whom had jobs in agriculture, were begging, which was both illegal and could bring them shame. If so, the black face must have been a custom that saved face on the part of dancers and audience alike. The Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans. While much or Europe has been placed into lockdown, the UK government has put in place more stringent rules as part of their long term strategy, and in particular social distancing.

  • Intricate carving reliefs of Apsara dancers at Angkor Wat. Note that the dancer on the left is pushing her tongue out. In addition to this she has 6 levels to the points of her head-dress. Showing her superiority to the other dancer. This jewel in the crown of Angkor's ancient temples is a vision of beauty, might and Khmer architectural excellence. The five towers dominate the view, which you are led to trough outer walls, along causeways over the moat and past the two giant pools which act as a mirror of the vision. Consecrated at around 1150 to the Hindu god, Vishnu it is suggested that construction took 30 years.
