Srishti: ekatA

Nina Rajarani MBE is an award-winning choreographer of classical Indian dance with over 30 years’ experience as a dance-maker. She fuels the tradition of Bharatanatyam with a love of storytelling and a firm desire to reflect contemporary life in her productions. With her performing company Srishti – Nina Rajarani Dance Creations, she is equally at home working with readable western characters and traditional archetypes, and cleverly weaves sophisticated forms of dance with recognisable narratives and themes.

ekatA (meaning identity and oneness) returns Nina Rajarani to her classical roots with a solo Bharatanatyam recital of dance pieces she has created to perform to the musical compositions of husband/vocalist Y Yadavan. Accompanied throughout by live music, the programme is made up of a varied series of solo pieces (Alarippu, Varnam, Padam 1 and Padam 2) and an ensemble finale Tillana performed by four Srishti dancers.
