Swarnamalya Instagram - I had posted our revision video a few days ago, and here is the jathi video, with @swarnamalyag
Swarnamalya Instagram - These pictures are to share the joy of wearing a beautiful beautiful beautiful double adigai by @sthree_creatives my friend Srimathi Mohan sent this to me with so much love. And I found the perfect occasion to wear it to my Guru Sarasama’s anniversary celebrations yday. It stood out, shining. I loved how it sat so perfectly on the neck and can’t wait to wear it again and again. Sthree is making amazing sarees and reviving traditions. The adigai left us mainly because of how it wouldn’t sit properly on the neck. But Srimathi’s work with master craftspeople has revived it to its rightful glory. I love it ❤️

Swarnamalya Instagram - Sarasa Natya Mala - a celebration of our guru Kalaimamani K J Sarasa, fondly known as Sarasama. My dear friend and sister @kavitharamu performed. It was an emotionally pensive performance. Her choice of pieces were so sublime including the Illayaraja composition of Pudumaipittan song. Sarasalaya is home. And it eas so comforting to be home yesterday and watch my dearest friend and lovely artiste Kavi perform. As always @shanmughasundar has organised this year’s festival too so beautifully. Above all, we all know Sarasama is watching us from above with approval. We can almost hear her tongue-n-cheek comments❤️🙈

Swarnamalya Instagram - Some phone memories
Swarnamalya Instagram - Vijaya Dashami is such an important ritual @rangamandiraacademy  it is a new year for us. Offering ourselves to our art, our gurus, our co artistes and to God
Swarnamalya Instagram - M E L T

Movement
Energy
Learning
Training

Dancers and Movement students need to RE-TRAIN their bodies and minds when taken out of familiar surroundings like rehearsal studios and theatres. 
A single flat surface, controlled lighting and rehearsed choreography often don’t translate in alternate spaces 

On a recent encounter with a diverse range of people at the @texturesoftraditions in Chennai, the location was a restaurant.
Chairs, tables, room dividers, glass windows, a balcony, bricks on the walls and mirrors ALL these objects had to be acknowledged and negotiated with. 

In moments like this, every object AROUND the body becomes a Co-performer, not a distraction. 

Many dancers were comfortable using their torso and arms but found relocating their feet positions challenging. 

Peripheral vision to accommodate another presence behind or in front of you, gaining balance while locking eyes with the other, removing inhibitions when told “ALL MOVEMENT IS VALID” became supportive prompts during the 2 hour session

Classical dancers, however well trained in technique, need to UPSKILL in several new area

Today’s demands require dancers to be adaptable, flexible and nimble. Of body and mind.

Swarnamalya Instagram - TAMIZHE- A Sadir performance of Tamil a testament to Dravidian Cultures is Ranga Mandira Sadir Melam’s latest production. Tamizhe  which premiered @texturesoftraditions  in Sep 2023 
 
The Ancient language of Tamil writes its own autobiography. Through centuries of intense reflection, in Tamil we see movement, aliveness and the self. Tamil is a thinking language, it is a singing language, a dancing language and indeed a poetic and literary language. Indo- European languages like classical Sanskrit have assimilated much of their syntactical patterns from Dravidian. Poets like Illango and grammarians like Valluvan bring to us Tamil as our ancient sensibility and culture. Dr Kalignar’s ruminations see Tamil as “knowing how to love”. Tamil is implicit, we can live in Tamil. And you don’t need to know Tamil to hear it.  We presented Tamizhe @worlddiasporaday Ayalagath Tamizhar Dinam organised by the @tamilnadugovernment on Jan 12th. Here is a snippet of how it goes from reel to real!
Swarnamalya Instagram - My love for lights ! The pure joy of a constellation of lights! Pure gold! #vangoghmuseum @anjanarajagopalan_musician  thank you for capturing my childish joy so candidly. We were lit 🔥 up, our smiles and joy hitting a new high

Swarnamalya Instagram - Learning and practice are the two pillars of the Arts. There is absolutely no substitute for these. Every day, every time is a new endeavour. It’s a humbling experience. Working on a timeless Tanjore Quartette composition, with the descendant of their family, and the grandson of Pandanallur Meenakshisundaram Pillai, notwithstanding, we all work hard together. Learning and Practice

Swarnamalya Instagram - RAKTI - Collaborations in Pleasure. Through the prism of the 21st century, our history is often made to look like it’s punctuated by religious conflict and differences. But there were others copious ways, artistic and literary ways in which people connected and bonded. Religion was NOT the phenomenon upon which people operated- who was Hindu, who Muslim, African, Catholic, Jew, etc was not their pre- occupation.  RAKTI collaborates with one of the common resource of the past- Pleasure. Pleasure seeking in our times translates to only the sensual, but life for everyone was pursuit in pleasure. Teasing our senses, with the sounds, sights, smells of the times when pleasure was our closest ally, RAKTI is a multisensorial experiential evening of Music, Dance, Poetry, Adaab and much more. Multiculturalism is at the heart of this work which stems from my years of research on the Performing Traditions of the Early Modern Deccani Era. Curated by the arts leader @chandrangeeta  for @serendipityartsfestival, Rakti has a stunning ensemble @anjanarajagopalan_musician led by being the music composer n vocalist on the project, Oud n Kemence by @bonny_kalappurackal  @_.meissam._ @rsriganesh @srikrishnan48 and my co artistes @padmaaaaaaaaaaa @niiviiravii @b_charles_official @radhikaganesh @maliniganesh @anuragdocu @vetri_artist the visual, oral, sensorial live works is our team effort. Presenting to a FULL HOUSE was Our PLEASURE ! Happy New Year and Rakti to all❤️

Religion was NOT the phenomenon upon which people operated- who was Hindu, who Muslim, African, Catholic, Jew, etc was not their pre- occupation.  RAKTI collaborates with one of the common resource of the past- Pleasure. Pleasure seeking in our times translates to only the sensual, but life for everyone was pursuit in pleasure. Teasing our senses, with the sounds, sights, smells of the times when pleasure was our closest ally, RAKTI is a multisensorial experiential evening of Music, Dance, Poetry, Adaab and much more. Multiculturalism is at the heart of this work which stems from my years of research on the Performing Traditions of the Early Modern Deccani Era. Curated by the arts leader @chandrangeeta  for @serendipityartsfestival, Rakti has a stunning ensemble @anjanarajagopalan_musician led by being the music composer n vocalist on the project, Oud n Kemence by @bonny_kalappurackal  @_.meissam._ @rsriganesh @srikrishnan48 and my co artistes @padmaaaaaaaaaaa @niiviiravii @b_charles_official @radhikaganesh @maliniganesh @anuragdocu @vetri_artist the visual, oral, sensorial live works is our team effort. Presenting to a FULL HOUSE was Our PLEASURE ! Happy New Year and Rakti to all❤️

Swarnamalya Instagram - Arangetram Vibes @smrithikaksasidhaar. @rangamandiraacademy  brings yet another Sadir Artiste to stage @krishnaganasabha  with @menon_artist
Swarnamalya Instagram - In a two and half hour concert, the Padam that comes after a long and arduous varnam encourages the dancer to continue remaining in the emotive state. It is not until the Tillana which would come a good half hour or more later that the dancer would unwind…. My fifteen year old self here is soaked quote literally in the musicality and emotion of the moment…. There was time, there was pace and patience. cut to the whole concert being 1.15 hours today. When does one get into the zone and how does one travel….? So glad I’m not a millennial born for what would I have missed had I not known three hour concerts ! #swarnamalya #texturesoftraditions
Swarnamalya Instagram - When our minds meet, our hearts melt. A lifetime’s opportunity to cross the border and see the land that holds so many memories, painful, tearful, yet full of hope and resilience- Lahore invited me, I knew this year is special. To speak at the opening of the FAIZ Festival 2024 on behalf of the Indian delegation, to share stage with Salima ji, daughter of Faiz Saab and to perform at the historic Alhambra hall, the very same space in which Iqbal Bano had sung Faiz Saab’s Hum Dekhenge in the 70s, to take the same Nazm in Tamil to an awakened audience who not only gave a lasting standing ovation to Sadir but were moved to tears along with me, and to experience the love of Lahore’s poetry, mushairas, qawwali, Abida ji’s Sufi Kalams, Lahori food, and above all the love and warmth of the people of Lahore. 2024 February is historic in my life. Thoughts about boundaries and borders, identities and struggles- but most importantly about love, peace, harmony and hope. Faiz Saab lives in the hearts of the city of Lahore. And you can see his warmth in the hug of Moneeza ji his daughter to me. Also in one of the  pics is Nawabzada Asfandyar ji who is a Bharatanatyam dancer of Pakistan whom I had invited to join me briefly on the stage,  along with my dearest friend Arvinder Chamak Saab. So many friendships and so many lives shared ❤️here is to more

Swarnamalya Instagram - RAKTI premiered by @swarnamalyag @serendipityartsfestival was a brilliantly crafted performance that threw out tags and labels far outside the window. Teasing all the five senses, it was an experiential immersion. So happy that the house full audience shared the artist's pulse.

Swarnamalya Instagram - Multi genre Independent & Eclectic repertoire concert for ‘Textures of Traditions’ cultural festival with @mattbaconmusic 

Such a beautiful space was created for us by @swarnamalyag & @radhikaganesh and the entire team of @texturesoftraditions to present music that’s unheard of and of themes that are very close to my heart. It’s not often that as a musician one comes by such a welcoming space & brilliant audience, and I’m so grateful to Swarnamalya & Radhika to have enabled this! An hour just rolled by seamlessly and timelessly. It goes down as one of the most fulfilling concerts I’ve done :) 

Thank you for the beautiful moments captured @simmz_portraits ! :)

Swarnamalya Instagram - Him Dekhenge- Naam Paarpome- speaking truth to power. Faiz Saab’s hope for a tomorrow, a new dawn, lends itself to all moments in history where truth to power needs to be spoken. A song of revolution, a song of resistance and a song of hope. When I introduced it as the translation by Mangai Arasu and Ponni, brought to life by @anjanarajagopalan_musician  and Bindu I was so proud that they were the wind beneath my wings to take this song of resistance to his place of origin in a language of revolution- Tamil. I requested a Pakistani artiste Nawabzada Asfandyar to join me in stage as a way to embody two dancers, from India and Pakistan, sharing stage, sharing art as a strong message of togetherness and harmony - the tomorrow that we all want.  Activist Beena Sarwar and many diplomats in the audience realised the power of the moment. And also see how young Pakistani girls speak of the impact of this moment. A full circle. In my years of being a dancer and researcher creating work on multiculturalism -and interfaith harmony, this day was a summary of the journey thus far, and miles to go before I sleep.

When I introduced it as the translation by Mangai Arasu and Ponni, brought to life by @anjanarajagopalan_musician  and Bindu I was so proud that they were the wind beneath my wings to take this song of resistance to his place of origin in a language of revolution- Tamil. I requested a Pakistani artiste Nawabzada Asfandyar to join me in stage as a way to embody two dancers, from India and Pakistan, sharing stage, sharing art as a strong message of togetherness and harmony - the tomorrow that we all want.  Activist Beena Sarwar and many diplomats in the audience realised the power of the moment. And also see how young Pakistani girls speak of the impact of this moment. A full circle. In my years of being a dancer and researcher creating work on multiculturalism -and interfaith harmony, this day was a summary of the journey thus far, and miles to go before I sleep.

Swarnamalya - 2.5K Likes - These pictures are to share the joy of wearing a beautiful beautiful beautiful double adigai by @sthree_creatives my friend Srimathi Mohan sent this to me with so much love. And I found the perfect occasion to wear it to my Guru Sarasama’s anniversary celebrations yday. It stood out, shining. I loved how it sat so perfectly on the neck and can’t wait to wear it again and again. Sthree is making amazing sarees and reviving traditions. The adigai left us mainly because of how it wouldn’t sit properly on the neck. But Srimathi’s work with master craftspeople has revived it to its rightful glory. I love it ❤️

Movement
Energy
Learning
Training

Dancers and Movement students need to RE-TRAIN their bodies and minds when taken out of familiar surroundings like rehearsal studios and theatres. 
A single flat surface, controlled lighting and rehearsed choreography often don’t translate in alternate spaces 

On a recent encounter with a diverse range of people at the @texturesoftraditions in Chennai, the location was a restaurant.
Chairs, tables, room dividers, glass windows, a balcony, bricks on the walls and mirrors ALL these objects had to be acknowledged and negotiated with. 

In moments like this, every object AROUND the body becomes a Co-performer, not a distraction. 

Many dancers were comfortable using their torso and arms but found relocating their feet positions challenging. 

Peripheral vision to accommodate another presence behind or in front of you, gaining balance while locking eyes with the other, removing inhibitions when told “ALL MOVEMENT IS VALID” became supportive prompts during the 2 hour session

Classical dancers, however well trained in technique, need to UPSKILL in several new area

Today’s demands require dancers to be adaptable, flexible and nimble. Of body and mind.

Swarnamalya - 722 Likes - TAMIZHE- A Sadir performance of Tamil a testament to Dravidian Cultures is Ranga Mandira Sadir Melam’s latest production. Tamizhe  which premiered @texturesoftraditions  in Sep 2023 
 
The Ancient language of Tamil writes its own autobiography. Through centuries of intense reflection, in Tamil we see movement, aliveness and the self. Tamil is a thinking language, it is a singing language, a dancing language and indeed a poetic and literary language. Indo- European languages like classical Sanskrit have assimilated much of their syntactical patterns from Dravidian. Poets like Illango and grammarians like Valluvan bring to us Tamil as our ancient sensibility and culture. Dr Kalignar’s ruminations see Tamil as “knowing how to love”. Tamil is implicit, we can live in Tamil. And you don’t need to know Tamil to hear it.  We presented Tamizhe @worlddiasporaday Ayalagath Tamizhar Dinam organised by the @tamilnadugovernment on Jan 12th. Here is a snippet of how it goes from reel to real!

Tamil is implicit, we can live in Tamil. And you don’t need to know Tamil to hear it. We presented Tamizhe @worlddiasporaday Ayalagath Tamizhar Dinam organised by the @tamilnadugovernment on Jan 12th. Here is a snippet of how it goes from reel to real!

Swarnamalya - 404 Likes - RAKTI - Collaborations in Pleasure. Through the prism of the 21st century, our history is often made to look like it’s punctuated by religious conflict and differences. But there were others copious ways, artistic and literary ways in which people connected and bonded. Religion was NOT the phenomenon upon which people operated- who was Hindu, who Muslim, African, Catholic, Jew, etc was not their pre- occupation.  RAKTI collaborates with one of the common resource of the past- Pleasure. Pleasure seeking in our times translates to only the sensual, but life for everyone was pursuit in pleasure. Teasing our senses, with the sounds, sights, smells of the times when pleasure was our closest ally, RAKTI is a multisensorial experiential evening of Music, Dance, Poetry, Adaab and much more. Multiculturalism is at the heart of this work which stems from my years of research on the Performing Traditions of the Early Modern Deccani Era. Curated by the arts leader @chandrangeeta  for @serendipityartsfestival, Rakti has a stunning ensemble @anjanarajagopalan_musician led by being the music composer n vocalist on the project, Oud n Kemence by @bonny_kalappurackal  @_.meissam._ @rsriganesh @srikrishnan48 and my co artistes @padmaaaaaaaaaaa @niiviiravii @b_charles_official @radhikaganesh @maliniganesh @anuragdocu @vetri_artist the visual, oral, sensorial live works is our team effort.

But there were others copious ways, artistic and literary ways in which people connected and bonded. Religion was NOT the phenomenon upon which people operated- who was Hindu, who Muslim, African, Catholic, Jew, etc was not their pre- occupation. RAKTI collaborates with one of the common resource of the past- Pleasure. Pleasure seeking in our times translates to only the sensual, but life for everyone was pursuit in pleasure. Teasing our senses, with the sounds, sights, smells of the times when pleasure was our closest ally, RAKTI is a multisensorial experiential evening of Music, Dance, Poetry, Adaab and much more. Multiculturalism is at the heart of this work which stems from my years of research on the Performing Traditions of the Early Modern Deccani Era. Curated by the arts leader @chandrangeeta for @serendipityartsfestival, Rakti has a stunning ensemble @anjanarajagopalan_musician led by being the music composer n vocalist on the project, Oud n Kemence by @bonny_kalappurackal @_.meissam._ @rsriganesh @srikrishnan48 and my co artistes @padmaaaaaaaaaaa @niiviiravii @b_charles_official @radhikaganesh @maliniganesh @anuragdocu @vetri_artist the visual, oral, sensorial live works is our team effort. Presenting to a FULL HOUSE was Our PLEASURE ! Happy New Year and Rakti to all❤️

Swarnamalya - 375 Likes - In a two and half hour concert, the Padam that comes after a long and arduous varnam encourages the dancer to continue remaining in the emotive state. It is not until the Tillana which would come a good half hour or more later that the dancer would unwind…. My fifteen year old self here is soaked quote literally in the musicality and emotion of the moment…. There was time, there was pace and patience. cut to the whole concert being 1.15 hours today. When does one get into the zone and how does one travel….? So glad I’m not a millennial born for what would I have missed had I not known three hour concerts ! #swarnamalya #texturesoftraditions

Swarnamalya - 363 Likes - When our minds meet, our hearts melt. A lifetime’s opportunity to cross the border and see the land that holds so many memories, painful, tearful, yet full of hope and resilience- Lahore invited me, I knew this year is special. To speak at the opening of the FAIZ Festival 2024 on behalf of the Indian delegation, to share stage with Salima ji, daughter of Faiz Saab and to perform at the historic Alhambra hall, the very same space in which Iqbal Bano had sung Faiz Saab’s Hum Dekhenge in the 70s, to take the same Nazm in Tamil to an awakened audience who not only gave a lasting standing ovation to Sadir but were moved to tears along with me, and to experience the love of Lahore’s poetry, mushairas, qawwali, Abida ji’s Sufi Kalams, Lahori food, and above all the love and warmth of the people of Lahore. 2024 February is historic in my life. Thoughts about boundaries and borders, identities and struggles- but most importantly about love, peace, harmony and hope. Faiz Saab lives in the hearts of the city of Lahore. And you can see his warmth in the hug of Moneeza ji his daughter to me. Also in one of the  pics is Nawabzada Asfandyar ji who is a Bharatanatyam dancer of Pakistan whom I had invited to join me briefly on the stage,  along with my dearest friend Arvinder Chamak Saab. So many friendships and so many lives shared ❤️here is to more

A lifetime’s opportunity to cross the border and see the land that holds so many memories, painful, tearful, yet full of hope and resilience- Lahore invited me, I knew this year is special. To speak at the opening of the FAIZ Festival 2024 on behalf of the Indian delegation, to share stage with Salima ji, daughter of Faiz Saab and to perform at the historic Alhambra hall, the very same space in which Iqbal Bano had sung Faiz Saab’s Hum Dekhenge in the 70s, to take the same Nazm in Tamil to an awakened audience who not only gave a lasting standing ovation to Sadir but were moved to tears along with me, and to experience the love of Lahore’s poetry, mushairas, qawwali, Abida ji’s Sufi Kalams, Lahori food, and above all the love and warmth of the people of Lahore. 2024 February is historic in my life. Thoughts about boundaries and borders, identities and struggles- but most importantly about love, peace, harmony and hope. Faiz Saab lives in the hearts of the city of Lahore. And you can see his warmth in the hug of Moneeza ji his daughter to me. Also in one of the  pics is Nawabzada Asfandyar ji who is a Bharatanatyam dancer of Pakistan whom I had invited to join me briefly on the stage,  along with my dearest friend Arvinder Chamak Saab. So many friendships and so many lives shared ❤️here is to more

Teasing all the five senses, it was an experiential immersion. So happy that the house full audience shared the artist's pulse.

Such a beautiful space was created for us by @swarnamalyag & @radhikaganesh and the entire team of @texturesoftraditions to present music that’s unheard of and of themes that are very close to my heart. It’s not often that as a musician one comes by such a welcoming space & brilliant audience, and I’m so grateful to Swarnamalya & Radhika to have enabled this! An hour just rolled by seamlessly and timelessly. It goes down as one of the most fulfilling concerts I’ve done :) 

Thank you for the beautiful moments captured @simmz_portraits ! :)

Caption : Multi genre Independent & Eclectic repertoire concert for ‘Textures of Traditions’ cultural festival with @mattbaconmusic Such a beautiful space was created for us by @swarnamalyag & @radhikaganesh and the entire team of @texturesoftraditions to present music that’s unheard of and of themes that are very close to my heart. It’s not often that as a musician one comes by such a welcoming space & brilliant audience, and I’m so grateful to Swarnamalya & Radhika to have enabled this! An hour just rolled by seamlessly and timelessly. It goes down as one of the most fulfilling concerts I’ve done 🙂 Thank you for the beautiful moments captured @simmz_portraits ! 🙂 @kraft_dine @ar_subbiah @padmaaaaaaaaaaa @niiviiravii #texturesoftraditions #chennai #vocalist #guitar #composer #indie #independent #music #eclectic #multigenre #diversity #plurality #culture #festival #art #artistsoninstagram

Swarnamalya - 277 Likes - Him Dekhenge- Naam Paarpome- speaking truth to power. Faiz Saab’s hope for a tomorrow, a new dawn, lends itself to all moments in history where truth to power needs to be spoken. A song of revolution, a song of resistance and a song of hope. When I introduced it as the translation by Mangai Arasu and Ponni, brought to life by @anjanarajagopalan_musician  and Bindu I was so proud that they were the wind beneath my wings to take this song of resistance to his place of origin in a language of revolution- Tamil. I requested a Pakistani artiste Nawabzada Asfandyar to join me in stage as a way to embody two dancers, from India and Pakistan, sharing stage, sharing art as a strong message of togetherness and harmony - the tomorrow that we all want.  Activist Beena Sarwar and many diplomats in the audience realised the power of the moment. And also see how young Pakistani girls speak of the impact of this moment. A full circle. In my years of being a dancer and researcher creating work on multiculturalism -and interfaith harmony, this day was a summary of the journey thus far, and miles to go before I sleep.
