## About Live Music & Theatrical Performances

### Why I Perform

Every time I step on stage, it's about sharing something real - songs, stories, and the energy of the crowd. Performing is my way of connecting to my roots and to all of you, whether it's through music, theatre, or a bit of both.

### What I Offer

- Big festival concerts with full orchestra - think tabla, flute, guitars, drums, film songs, folk, and a bit of classical thrown in.
- Intimate home kacheri events for those cozy gatherings, where every voice and note feels personal.
- Kannada folk theatrical shows and experimental plays, sometimes mixing languages, music, and poetry.
- Cross-cultural stage performances - I've blended my Kannada vocals with electronic cello in Germany, and worked with artists like Bruce Lee Mani to bring ancient poetry alive with a modern twist.
- Poetry and music evenings, for when you want something soulful and conversational.

### My Approach

I’m all about collaboration - or as we say, sangama. Each show is a fresh mix of ideas and people. From researching Bhavageethe and Vachanas to exploring new global sounds, I put a lot of care into making each performance feel authentic and alive.

### What To Expect

Shows can be as grand or as small as you want, from a big festival stage to your living room. I’ll always bring the same spirit: real connection, honest music, and stories that stay with you. If you want a performance that feels both rooted and new, that's what I love to do.

## Meet your expert

[Pallavi MD](https://mytribe.in/pallavi_md)

### My story

Hi, I’m Pallavi. I sing, act, direct, make films—mostly, I tell stories with whoever wants to join in. My house is always buzzing, chai and charcha (tea and chat) everywhere, and my daughter Kaadu in the thick of it, dreaming up wild cakes or judging my stories. I’ve learnt from legends of Sugama Sangeetha, and awards like Vachana Sahityashri remind me this art is bigger than me. Blending life and art, old and new, is what keeps me going.

### My work

- **All things art—singing, acting, directing, composing**: I do classical, folk, world music, even ancient poetry fusion music. Also, storytelling for kids and talks on art.
- **Collaboration, always**: Best art happens with people. My shows are a team effort—no lone wolves here.
- **Music for a cause**: I love inclusive music projects, charity gigs, and working with young talents from Srishti Special Academy.
- **Old poetry, new beats**: I bring ancient, progressive poetry alive with modern tunes—think Basavanna meeting rock and jazz.
- **Genre-bending theatre shows**: Expect intimate, multi-sensory experiences—music, poetry, movement all mixed up.
