Samāgata
A coming together
Solo Dances from the Indian Tradition
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. 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.
