About
Choreography or creative design of dance is a skill that can be honed with experiential exercises. This workshop focuses on the steps that translate thoughts into movement. How much is too much and what is too less ? How do we strike a balance between beautiful imagery and intense emotions ? What is the most effective method to communicate ? Open to dancers of all classical styles , the workshop will explore and seek answers to these questions.
The Artist
Rama Vaidyanathan is one of the top most stars of Bharatanatyam and is a well known exponent of the dance form all over the world. She has been fortunate to have trained intensively under the legendry dancer Yamini Krishnamurty. Rama has also been under the guidance of the eminent Guru Saroja Vaidyanathan. Everyone who has seen Rama perform is struck by her unique thought process and fresh approach to dance. While deeply rooted in tradition she has evolved her own individual style without forsaking the core principles of Bharata Natyam. She has received critical acclaim for her extraordinary skills in choreography and has made several humble contributions to the Bharatanatyam repertoire. She has been teaching at Ganesa Natyalaya Delhi, for the past 25 years and has also been taking intensive master classes in other parts of the country and abroad.
