A Bharatanatyam show that explores the divine in nature

CHENNAI: Dancer and artistic director of

Raadha Kalpa Dance Company

Rukmini Vijayakumar will present 'Nayani', a

Bharatanatyam production

that explores the divinity in nature through the story of a tribal girl who finds the symbols of Shiva all around her. She hears the sounds of the AUM in the wind and the water, and ultimately she leads all the skeptics around her to find the same divinity.


Rukmini is known for her unique style and approach to Bharatanatyam. She has developed a pedagogical system that approaches Bharatanatyam in a systematic analytical manner that trains the body progressively while cultivating creative exploration, called the

Raadha Kalpa Method

.

The show will be performed by the dancers of Raadha Kalpa, with story by Vijayalakshmi Vijayakumar and sound design by Prabhat Studios. It will take place on March 14, at RR Sabha, Mylapore, at 7pm.
