This is the first glimpse into my world of dance, a collection that captures the energy, emotion, and variety of my work. From powerful solo expressions to grand ensemble productions, these visuals represent the heart of what I bring to the stage.
Solo Recitals: The Nayaka's Voice
My solo performances are an intimate exploration of classical Bharatanatyam, often focusing on the perspective of the male protagonist, or Nayaka. These recitals delve into traditional Thanjavur compositions and thematic works like "SAKHA" and "SHARANAGATHI," creating a space for stories and emotions that are not often seen on stage.
Chithkala Ensemble: Theatrical Productions
With my Chithkala Ensemble, we create large-scale Bharatanatyam musical theatre. These productions, like "Tyāgarāja Hṛt Sādana" and "Ṛtu Vismruthi," are grand, colourful shows that bring epic stories and contemporary themes to life with synchronized choreography and dramatic flair.
Collaborative & Experimental Works
I believe art grows through collaboration and exploring new horizons. This includes productions like "Tatsama Tadbhava," a fusion of Bharatanatyam and contemporary dance, and other projects that step beyond mythology to address themes like human psychology or social issues.
The Soul of the Performance: Live Orchestra
For me, a performance is incomplete without the energy of live music. Nearly all my shows feature a full orchestra with talented musicians on vocals, nattuvangam, and mridangam, creating a truly immersive and authentic experience for the rasikas.
The Journey of Creation: Rehearsals & Workshops
The stage performance is the culmination of a long, dedicated journey of creation and practice. This is a glimpse into our rehearsal space, where concepts take shape, movements are refined, and the synergy between dancers and musicians is built.
On Tour: Sharing Art Across the Globe
Based in Bengaluru, the art takes me across India and the world to connect with rasikas everywhere. This collection features posters and announcements from my national and international tours, including performances across the US and Canada.
