## About Bharatanatyam Choreography

### What Drives My Choreography

I’m a dancer before anything else. For me, choreography isn’t just steps and counts – it’s about telling a story that feels personal. Like I always say, Panchanga nodi bandira... adre... chennagi nodi bandira? (Did you check the almanac... but did you really look closely?). I want you to see the art, not just the outline.

### My Process

Everything starts with a strong base in Bharatanatyam – rhythm (talam) and expression (abhinaya) are the core. Whether we’re building something totally new, or giving a twist to a classic, I care about both precise technique and a fresh vibe. I like to dig deep, not just repeat what’s been done.

### What I Offer

- Full-scale productions: From mythological stories like Mitra to literary pieces like Nagamandala, I work with you from idea to stage. This includes conceptualising, group choreography, and shaping the whole stage feel – music, lighting, everything.
- Solo and group performances: If you’re prepping for arangetram or want a traditional Margam choreography, I got you. I help soloists or small groups build their custom Bharatanatyam repertoire for events or festivals.
- Group ideas: For student groups, I create items like Jathis, Krithis, or even solo Bharatanatyam narrative pieces.

### The Teamwork Bit

I never do this alone. Working with a live orchestra – singers, mridangam, violin, flute – makes the dance come alive. These annas and jis are my backbone. We make sure the dance and music are genuinely in sync.

### Where I Work

I’m based in Bangalore at Punyah Dance Company and Upadhye School of Dance, but I travel for workshops and productions – India, USA, Europe, wherever the art calls.

Aduthathu (next)... we see where this journey goes.

## Meet your expert

[Adithya](https://mytribe.in/adithya.pv)

### My story

Hey, I’m Adithya, dancer and wanderer from Bangalore. My life swings between rehearsals, random travels and mad food hunts. One day I’m sweating it out in a studio, next I’m lost in a European city or chilling with a Tibetan Mastiff in Italy. All this – the places, the art, the animals – somehow sneaks into my dance. Keeps things real, keeps me on my toes, literally and otherwise.

### My work

- **Bharatanatyam Performances, Workshops & Choreography**: I do solo and group recitals, run intensive Bharatanatyam workshops, and choreograph dance productions for all kinds of events.
- **My Artistic Approach**: My dance is honest. No drama, just good abhinaya, whether it’s a Kamas varnam or something more experimental.
- **Teaching Style**: Through Punyah Dance Company and workshops, I go deep into details, movement, and building a strong dance base.
- **The Power of Collaboration**: I love working with musicians—vocalists, mridangam, flute—makes every show come alive in its own way.
