I personally manage the script, musical cues, and performer coordination—like my work for the Bengaluru Ganesh Utsava or corporate showcases—to ensure the art feels grounded in tradition, rather than just being a generic performance piece. When you put together a show, the difference between a spectacle and a story lies in the details. My approach to event direction is rooted in my research for 'Nrutya Beru' and my work with troupes like the Karnataka Kamsale Janapada Kalavidaru. I don't just supply artists; I take responsibility for the entire production. ### What I Handle * **Concept & Scripting:** Whether it is a corporate story for a group like Mercedes Benz or an epic production like 'Navarasa Ramayana' with 600+ students, I create a cohesive flow that keeps the audience hooked from start to finish. * **Logistics & Coordination:** From managing makeup and costume designers to coordinating technical lighting cues, I ensure the backstage chaos doesn't reach the front stage. You get a production that runs on time and on rhythm. * **Authentic Curation:** I refuse to use plastic, shiny polyester costumes or studio tracks. If you want a folk dance, you get original tuned instruments—animal hide drums, heavy metal cymbals—and attire that honors the specific region the dance comes from. ### Why Research Matters Many event planners struggle to communicate the 'why' behind a performance. Because I have spent 25 years living with these art forms, I can anchor your event with live narration. I explain the history and the context of the Kamsale or Dollu Kunitha being performed, turning a standard set into an educational and emotional experience. If you are looking for a show that leaves people thinking about the stories of our land, let us connect. ## About Sneha Kappanna I see dance as a conversation with the universe, not just a job. For 25 years, I have been researching and curating Karnataka’s folk traditions, turning them into stories that resonate on the big stage, whether for a temple courtyard or a corporate boardroom.
