Performance

A powerful and mesmerizing soloist, Anuradha offers three types of performance for diverse audiences, settings, and events. She seamlessly preserves traditional Indian culture while simultaneously making it accessible, immersive, and enjoyable for Western audiences. Her versatility allows her to connect with a wide array of people with her animated descriptions, demonstrations, and explanations.

Traditional performance includes repertoire from the Bharata Natyam style. Although the dances reflect an ancient Indian ethos and utilize specific vocabulary and themes, Anuradha’s approach is to emphasize the universal appeal of even the most traditional piece. She has choreographed numerous traditional dances which are included in this type of presentation.

Contemporary performance stretches the boundaries of movement vocabulary, language, themes, and music. Anuradha has choreographed and presented several pieces that express themes such as Sustainable Development, Gender Equality, and historical figures.

Arts in Education Moving Myths of India is an interactive, educational program offered to schools, libraries, and museums in which Anuradha relates ancient stories from Indian mythology through spoken word and dance. Beginning with an explanation of cultural and historical background, the performance proceeds with teaching of traditional hand symbols, and clapping rhythms.
