Synopsis:
Janet Jackson’s “wardrobe malfunction” triggers several questions in Aparna, a present-day dancer. Why are there so many boundaries for women? The lines drawn around women take the shape of - abuse - body shamming - ban of a books/artists - sexual abuse. What happens when women cross the line? Aparna calls upon Muddu Palani, a courtesan and a poet of a beautiful erotica from the 18th century to help her understand women’s sensuality, desire, art, and pleasure. The performance is a journey between past and present with women artists who dared to cross the line. Sindhoor and Natyaveda create a new physical theater vocabulary to produce a unique South-Asian-American theater experience in collaboration with S M Raju (Co-writer) and George Brooks (Composer).

For those who don't know what Abhinaya is: don't worry it is a complex, lyrical, stylized way of emoting and telling a story. You are not going to learn all of them in one class. What you will learn is just a small way to
experience emotional connection through the body.

Online classes !!!! Any time anywhere!!!
