The Scissors Dance, Peru's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity :
Folklore is undoubtedly one of the greatest sources of pride for countries. The inhabitants of a country identify with local artistic expressions, including traditional dances. In Peru, there is a wide variety of traditional dances that are known internationally, including the “scissors dance”, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on November 16, 2010.
The scissors dance is an Andean ritual that is practiced in different cities in Peru, mainly in the Departments of Huancavelica and Ayacucho. It stands out for its originality, ancient roots, and symbolic value. The man who dances plays the role of the “mediator” between Mother Earth and the Andes and the settlers, managing the connection between them.
The origins of the dance date back to the 16th century when it was called “Taki Onkoy”, a Quechua expression and movement of the time that means “the rebellion of the Huacas”. It originated in the ancient region of Chanka (which today corresponds to the departments of Ayacucho, Huancavelica, and Apurimac), where, after the Spanish conquest in Peru, the priests of Taki Onkoy announced throughout the country that the centers of worship or huacas that had been destroyed by the Spanish were still in existence, in addition to proclaiming the end of the oppression by the conquistadores. These priests were driven by the force of the APUS and the PACHAMAMA to dance and communicate the message that everything that surrounds us on Earth and in space has life.
This representative dance from the mountainous regions of Peru is very colorful and powerful. It includes impressive acrobatics by the dancers, who are called “Danzaq”, whose creativity and dexterity in the dance steps amazes spectators. During the scissors dance, the man dances while carrying scissors called “female” and “male”, shaking, clinking, and moving them in the different choreography sequences.

Drawing Everyday in May, #5 - scissors.
I got tired of trying to squeegee out paint from my small watercolor kit with half-pans, so I filled a couple of folding plastic ones that I have with bigger well. :)

This is my tessellation of Shuzo Fujimoto’s CFW 87 Scissors. Each molecule can be rotated independently
of others. As far I’m aware, Fujimoto himself never tessellated this pattern. Many other of his stars are likewise based on tessellation molecules which I was not able to find in tessellated form in any of his publications. Perhaps he didn’t realize they could be tessellated, or perhaps he knew but just didn’t publish it.
Such a situation poses an interesting challenge when I try to organize models presented on my web page by linking designs to their “base models”. From a morphological point of view, I consider a tessellation of a molecule to be the “primary” variant, with the star being a special case consisting of just a single molecule. However, from a historic point of view, in this case the stars came first and the tessellation later, with the original author probably not being aware of its existence. So, if I were to follow the historic point of view rather than the morphological, the relation would be reversed.

this is a really big deal for me.
I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time, but every time I mention it, people always tell me I can’t “pull it off,” or just give me a look like I’m insane and laugh at me. There have been times where I’ve been able to brush that off and just look at myself and I’ll even get the scissors out but I just was never able to do it because I’d look at my hair and all that length and everything it had been through and I’d think of all the things I wouldn’t be able to do and the “what if’s” and all of that and I’d put the scissors carefully back in the drawer where I found them. Instead, today, I picked them up and cut. I cut shorter and shorter and it was thrilling and wonderful and it’s not about looking “cool” or being “trendy” or anything like that. It’s about what Jessie said, about going out and doing the things we want to do because we only live once and life is so damn short, and hair grows back and i’m happy, just so damn happy right now.
Do you know what The Useless Machine is? Well, this is almost useless machine as The Useless Machine. I don't know why should anyone use this, but I am not so good with technic parts so I am experimenting. When you press one of three buttons on each side rock, paper or
scissors will pop up.
