Embodied Ritual: Bharatanatyam in the Diaspora
Master Class

 Led by Aparna, Ranee, and Ashwini Ramaswamy, this master class introduces students to Alarmel Valli’s lineage of Bharatanatyam, focusing on the percussive, poetic, and expressive vocabularies that are the underpinnings of the form. The Ramaswamys will demonstrate the interdependence of music and movement in their work while exploring the concept of lineage and how it informs their creative aesthetic. The class offers students the opportunity to discuss and experience how culturally-rooted art forms evolve and reinforce their relevance in the 21st century.
