This is the first glimpse into my world of dance. It’s a handpicked collection of moments that capture the energy, emotion, and storytelling that I strive to bring to every performance, whether it's a powerful solo recital or a grand troupe production. I hope these visuals give you a sense of the peace and passion I find in Bharatanatyam.
Grand Productions: The Wheel of Choices
This is my most ambitious production, a dance drama based on the Mahabharata that explores themes of choice, destiny, and dharma. We bring epic characters and their complex emotional journeys to life through a blend of traditional Bharatanatyam and contemporary theatrical storytelling, making it a powerful experience for audiences everywhere.
Solo Bharatanatyam Recitals
The solo recital, or 'margam,' is the heart of Bharatanatyam, a journey where a single dancer embodies a universe of characters and emotions. This collection showcases my solo performances at prestigious venues, featuring both traditional pieces and my own choreographies that explore the depth and versatility of this beautiful art form.
International Stage: Performances Across the Globe
Dance is a universal language, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have shared my art on stages around the world, from Paris to Reunion Island. These performances are opportunities for cultural exchange, collaboration, and connecting with new audiences, proving that stories told through dance can transcend borders.
Panna Dhai: A Tale of Sacrifice in French
This was a unique and challenging production where we told the historic Indian tale of Panna Dhai, a woman of incredible sacrifice, using French dialogues. Staged in Reunion Island, this project was a beautiful fusion of Indian history and French language, showing how powerful stories can be adapted and shared across cultures.
My Dance Academy (SGDA): The Next Generation
Passing on the knowledge of Bharatanatyam to the next generation is a responsibility I hold very dear. At my academy, I am filled with pride watching my students grow, from their first steps to their confident stage performances. This cluster celebrates their hard work, dedication, and the bright future of this art form.
Collaborative Works & Special Projects
I believe that art grows through collaboration. Working with other talented dancers, musicians, and artists from different disciplines always brings a fresh perspective to my work. This section highlights some of my favorite collaborative projects, from multi-artist productions to unique conceptual performances.
The Art of Bharatanatyam: Educational Snippets
Bharatanatyam is more than just dance; it's a rich language of expression, rhythm, and storytelling. In this section, I share short, educational videos that break down some of the core concepts of this art form, from the rhythmic recitation of a 'Jathi' to the poetic expressions of 'Abhinaya'. My goal is to make the technical aspects of dance accessible and interesting for everyone.
Behind the Art: My Journey & Process
Every performance you see on stage is the result of countless hours of practice, preparation, and passion. This is a personal collection of moments from my life as a dancer: the early morning workouts that keep me fit, the behind-the-scenes glimpses from rehearsals, and the quiet, candid moments from my travels that inspire my art.
My Kathakali Days: A Throwback
Before I dedicated myself fully to Bharatanatyam, my journey in classical dance included intensive training in Kathakali during my college years at Kalakshetra. This section is a throwback to those formative days, learning a completely different, powerful, and physically demanding art form. Portraying traditionally male roles like Arjuna was an incredible challenge and a rich learning experience.
