I’m going to have a small discussion on the theatrical part of Bharatanatyam in the next two posts…. Please comment if you have thoughts 😊
I wanted to share this video as an example of the stylised theatrical language of Bharatanatyam. Here there is an imaginary child, that appears and disappears based on the imaginative structure of the choreography. The rhythm and steps in the mix reflect an inner emotive state while a narrative of mother and child hold the piece together.
If you do not know the language of the song, how much of this do you understand? And why? Can you please share below. I will try to respond to as many comments as possible.

Some dancing that I did a while ago while @marckisai captured my inner music…. In london .
Just found this scrolling through old videos and thought I’d share.

I was looking through some videos that I danced during covid. it doesn’t seem like such a long time ago….. but it is.
In this video for example – I can see my body less trained…. not as sharp or fast. Probably because we were all in lockdown… but it’s evident to me.
Maybe most people won’t notice, but I always feel that the small things are what matter … they are what draw the line between being very good and being exceptional. I feel like “exceptional” is always one step ahead of me… 😆
But I try.
Hope you all enjoy this little contemplation. I’m getting back to my training now.

I didn’t take too many pictures… this is all. But i loved my family time…. Back to work from tomorrow. Lots of training, creative work and rehearsals. You’ll all be seeing lots of studios, workshops, flights, rehearsals, green rooms and gyms in forthcoming posts.
😊😊😊
Loved Phuket…. And it felt so calming to be in the ocean again. I didn’t get to dive… but even those few hours of snorkeling were invigorating…. Something about watching fish and life underwater….

Kong is the sweetest ♥️
He’s always confused when I say bye… he waits for me… everywhere… for ages …. outside doors. He loves playing “search”.
And he lets me cuddle ‘sometimes’
