Krishnaa
Bharatanatyam
“Krishnaa” is a traditional bharatanatyam performance that expresses the different kinds of love that people feel toward the Lord. The fist piece expresses the feelings of Yashoda as she calls out to little Krishna. The devotion of Kanakadasa, the warm friendship and awe of Arjuna toward Krishna, the pure and undeniable love of Radha for Krishna are all shown in this performance.
It is a calling out to “Krishnaa” that supreme being, who manifests in us, in our lives, as our friend, child, lover and finally becomes the “Brahman”, consciousness that we become one with.

The Performer
Experimental theater, dance
'The Performer' is a peek into the life of a Performer, bringing to you a mix of monologues and movement. It is an improvisational and collaborative performance with Karthik Mani a renown drummer ( www.taalization.com)
‘The Performer' is a comical insight into 'the backstage'. Performers put themselves in front of an audience voluntarily to be loved or hated or laughed at. The painstaking process of auditioning, the nerve racking experience of facing scores of people, the responses performers get from the audiences and the revelations of what the performer feels at the end of it all.

Kshana
Bharatanatyam, Modern dance, Theater, Kathak
Kshana is a confluence of art forms, Bharatanatyam, Indian classical dance, Western Theater, Indian Music, Western classical Modern dance, Film, Western musical instrumentation, Other Visual art forms, light and multimedia. These artistic expressions come together to showcase the concept of TIME. “Kshana” endeavors to share our experiences of Time from an Indian Cultural perspective and also a contemporary Western outlook.
The performance looks at “time” though the eyes of a person, trying to hold onto a time that has past; through the eyes of a person in love; the eyes of a person who does not realize his time is passing; a person who does not know what they have right then before them. Time forgives none. The only way we can relish our ‘time’ is to ‘be here now’. Not clutch a time past, not live for a time to come.
