*Bharatanatyam Intensive*
(for Advanced Students)
The Bharatanatyam Intensive by Aayana Dance Company spans two and a half days.
Each day focuses on a vertical with a keen specificity:
*Day 01: Shareera*
A vertical that focuses on physical conditioning of the Dancing Body. How can we prevent injuries? What exercises do we focus on to build stamina in the Mārgam? How do we strengthen, sustain and secure our muscles? How do we find alignment in our postures? A deep dive into all of the above questions and their possible solutions, aimed at equipping the dancing body with the healthy efficiency it needs to unlock its potential.
*Day 02: Nritta*
A foray into the world of ‘pure dance’ as Nritta is popularly, if not incompletely, described.
A vertical that focuses on articulating the grammar of Bharatanatyam with intention and clarity.
How do we personalise Nritta? How do we build Stamina? How do we find silence and musicality in our dance? How do explore movements ‘beyond’ the ones we are familiar with?
Excepts of the evergreen Brindavani Thillana will taught in tandem with these explorations, to help the dancers apply these principles in practice.
*Day 03: Abhinaya*
A day spent exploring the colourful world of poetry, emotion and expression.
How do we find our voice in an Abhinaya piece? How do we ‘warm up’ for Abhinaya? What are the possibilities within traditional compositions to reflect the moods and tendencies of the present?
Students will learn an Abhinaya piece: ‘Pi’s Lullaby’, as a crucible to apply everything that we explore together on that day.
Workshop fees includes:
1. Certificate of Completion
2. Opportunity to showcase live on stage on 12th August 2023.
