I am a seeker of the knowledge and wisdom underpinning Indian dance traditions. In weaving its spoken and unspoken elements I am empowered to render universal significance to my poetic experience. Hence, I dance.
For me, the expressive medium of Bharatanāṭyam combined with the ethical principles of yoga, enables a stronger, deeper and more expansive engagement with life and art.
In the 38 years of my career as a teacher, I am driven to inspire and challenge every student's potential for creativity.
As a performer and researcher, I have been privileged to travel around the world, conduct workshops and present papers at conferences. The experiences, observances and interaction with fellow artists has helped my creative self to evolve.
Dance to me is an
authentic expression
of who I am and
who I can become.
