This is the first glimpse into my world of dance, a curated collection that showcases the breadth of my choreographic work, from large ensemble productions to intimate solo performances. It reflects my passion for storytelling through the timeless language of Bharatanatyam.
Thematic Dance Productions
I conceptualize and choreograph large-scale Bharatanatyam productions from start to finish. These works explore a range of themes, from mythology and philosophy to contemporary issues like climate change, always in collaboration with a live orchestra.
Rangaabhivandane: Crafting a Debut
I provide complete mentorship for a dancer's Rangaabhivandane (debut solo performance). My process involves designing a unique repertoire that highlights the student's individual strengths, guiding them through both the technical steps and the expressive journey.
Solo Artistry & Performances
This is a collection of my solo performances, where I explore the depths of abhinaya and intricate footwork. These recitals often focus on the Nayaka (hero) perspective, delving into compositions that are centered around male emotions and stories.
Collaborative & Experimental Choreography
I believe collaboration is where true magic happens. This section showcases projects where I have worked with other dance schools, contemporary artists, and even puppeteers to blend Bharatanatyam with other forms and create something new.
The Creative Process: Rehearsals & Workshops
A glimpse into my creative process, from studio rehearsals with my Chithkala ensemble to advanced abhinaya workshops for dancers. I always work with a live music team, as the synergy between musicians and dancers is essential to my choreography.
Performances & Announcements
