Once a month, we delve into the philosophical, cultural, and spiritual foundations of Kuchipudi and Indian classical dance.
Through a blend of theory and discussion, we explore:
- Texts from the Natya Shastra & Abhinaya Darpana, as well as related literature – Understanding the principles, pedagogy, and technique of Indian dance and theater.
- Konokkol & Rhythm – Developing a deeper connection to tala (rhythmic cycles) through vocal percussion.
- Philosophy & Cultural Discourse – Discussing the spiritual and cultural significance and context of Kuchipudi and Indian classical performing arts.
This class is perfect for dancers looking to enrich their intellectual and artistic understanding beyond just movement.
