annemarie -> interdisciplinary approach? (Aug. 23 2010 21:20:53)

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if some of you guys ever try/tried to study some singing, dancing or cajón, as part of a more interdisciplinary approach to flamenco. I've started to play the guitar (some of you I know will be pleased to know that I just attempted my first Gerardo Nuñez exercise..), and even though of course I still kind of suck and I won't be starting my career as a soloist any time soon, I think it's very enlightening because it makes you see the art from a different perspective. And it makes you appreciate the hardship of your fellow aficionados, I guess. I also make attempts at playing the cajón and singing, even though the dance is definitely my main thing. I think it could make the communication between guitarist, singer and dancer easier, because you are more familiar with their points of view. Of course in Spain, so many singers can play and dance, guitarists can sing and dance and dancers can play and sing... So what do you guys think? Is it worth all the trouble of learning another discipline? PS. I personally think all guitarists should be able to do a little pataíta por bulerías, but that's just my humble opinion... :)
