Namaste! A 13 minute dance video-art form has been ready since November 2019.

The art form has been christened Kara Nritya ( Dancing Hands )and this work is titled Kaanta .This is focussed on mudras which depict her , represent her, exalt her, mudras that dance with her rhythm and become instruments to sing her glory- the words picturised are the concluding stanza of Adi Shankaracharya s ShreeKamakshi Stotram.

Please share this with all dear ones , friends , grow the experience of Kara Nritya

Rasalok (pronounced Rasaaloka) is a unique inherited artistic practice.

The genesis of this still theatre in miniature art form lies in Navarathri . Since 2003 Rasalok has become an annual open to the city offering with thrice through the day solo narrative performances of the still theatre in miniature art by two artists over the 10 days of Dussehra.This rare intimate classic theatre form becomes an intrinsic part of Every Saturday Art - a live masterly art form on offer -for the rest of the year

In this solo theatre form an artist performs live a well -honed and evolving inherited practice .Multiple classic art disciplines and their daily Abhyasa come handy in depicting an entire moment-in- time in a lifelike eyecatching manner . This rich spectacle in artistic proportions - miniature characters (with sculpted and painted expression and dynamic postures, as well as classic costuming) and their natural surroundings of flora, fauna, dwellings etc – is composed and handmade in intricate detail .

This still art comes alive through the “interaction” of these compositions on a miniature stage with the artist’s stylised live enactment-narration of the story and nuances of her composition.
