Event Details
Nikhita's (they/them) practice is deeply rooted in their Indian heritage, based primarily on Indian classical dance, but also draws heavily from bellydance (or raqs sharqi) and burlesque. It is also influenced by their studies of martial arts and the spiritual practices of yoga and tantra. Their dance allows them to express themself and helps them connect physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually with themself, their audience and their community. Nikhita is currently studying Odissi with Bhumi Dance Academy, a leading school for this style in London founded in 2017 by Dr Elena Catalano to share the beauty of this style through an inclusive and ambitious learning environment.
Performance & Dance Workshop - Nikhita will share an Odissi choreography named 'Manikya Veena', which celebrates auspicious beginnings by praising Matangi, the Tantric Goddess of knowledge and the arts. They will also share information about Odissi and its history.
The performance will be followed by some interactive activities that aim to leave the audience with a greater understanding and appreciation of Indian performance.
No previous dance experience needed.
