Windhover Center for the Performing Arts presents Samãgata: Solo Dances From the Indian Tradition

About this event

Samāgata {Sanskrit: to come together} performance by Sapna Govindan, Soumya Rajaram, and Priya Bangal In the Indian tradition, music, poetry, dance, painting, sculpture, literature, legend and myth are all inseparably linked in a vast tapestry of art and aesthetics. For a dancer, immersion in her practice involves an awareness of these subtle yet vital connections to reveal ‘rasa’ – the ultimate aesthetic essence of her work. Her audience is then, not merely a spectator, but a co-creator of this shared experience beyond the self, beyond the here and now. Samāgata is a coming together – of the dance and dancer, of the artist and the audience, and of three different dance forms from the Indian tradition – Mohiniyattam, Odissi and Bharatanatyam.
