CULTURAL CELEBRATION
20 Sep 19:00
What is it?
Part of our Contemporary Freedom of Movement programme, this new project offers space for sharing culture, traditions, enjoyment and inspiration. An exploration into what happens when traditional Indian dance is interwoven into the modern landscape.
Weekly sessions will culminate in the telling of a story through body movement and the spoken word. From weaving patterns and foot tapping rhythms, to the vocabulary of sign language based on the gestures of hands, eyes and face.
As an ensemble, you will draw inspiration from your own community heritage while embracing the possibilities of the present and future.
What will I get from taking part?
- Create dialogue through cultural exchange
- Explore emotive story telling through physicality
- Be inspired through movement
- Learn new skills
- Gain confidence
- Collaborate and share
Who will be leading the project?
Anne Tiburtius has over 45 years of experience in Bharatanatyam, a classical form of dance from South India. She is artistic director of Natyapriya, a dance company specialising in Indian classical and folk dancing. Anne also specialises in dance-drama and compositions that are a synthesis of styles which often incorporate the spoken word.
Do I need any particular skills or experience to take part?
