Time Will Tell Arts and Caravan World Rhythms present Sadhana: An Evening with Bharatanatyam
Sadhana: An Evening of Bharatanatyam, an enchanting evening of traditional dance presented by one of BC's leading practitioners of the art, Vancouver-based Sujit Vaidya.
Sadhana features a live ensemble of international musicians, including Ramya Kapadia (vocal), Raman Kalyan (flute), Curtis Andrews (mridangam) and special guest from India, Vaidya's guru/teacher A. Lakshmanaswamy performing the role of the nattuvanar (conductor of the ensemble and recitation of rhythmic dance compositions).
Bharatanatyam was born in the temples and courts of South India and was performed as an offering to the Gods. It evolved to adapt to the stage, yet it retains its devotional flavour while allowing for the expression of emotions through music, acting, hand gestures, and intricate rhythmic compositions.
This is a rare opportunity for Vancouver audiences to experience Bharatanatyam dance accompanied by live music.
