Classics Re-Imagined
Bharatanatyam staples, reimagined in conversation with tap dance
ANCIENT STAPLES, With A Contemporary Perspective
The sounds of the shruti, nattavangam, and mridangam are evocative of most Bharatanatyam dance recitals. Classics Re-Imagined explores these sounds through time-tested tunes, such as Dhanashree Thilanna and Bhoomi Mangalam while adding another layer of percussion to the mix through tap dance. Against a musical backdrop of both original renditions and contemporary interpretations, audiences discover the fascination and amazement of watching two cultures seamlessly meld together in real-time.
“[I] was pleasantly taken in by the seamless blend of Bharatanatyam and tap dance.”
“I watched it over and over again. This is truly a gift to watch and such a celebration of dance and diversity.”
