Music and dance are key elements of ethnic Indian art forms. This dance performance focuses on these elements, specifically rhythms and Mudras – hand gestures and body movements, of Indian dance. The dancers will show the audience how rhythms and movements are interlinked and how beats – the basic unit of time in music, form the basis of dance. They will also demonstrate the various Mudras and explain what each Mudra means and symbolises. The audience will also be encouraged to attempt the different hand gestures and leg movements with guidance from the dancers. In addition, the performance will explain how Indian contemporary dance is an amalgamation of traditional and contemporary dance. The performance will be facilitated by the choreographer and director, Kavitha Krishnan and performed and facilitated by Ajith Bhaskaran Daas. Beyond Bollywood – The Rhythms of Dance will help pupils to learn more about the different elements of traditional Indian dance and its influence on the Bollywood dance style.
