Darpana…

reflecting on 40 years

Ramya Harishankar presented Darpana: reflecting on 40 years. It was a trip down memory lane with a mixed repertory featuring traditional Bharata Natyam (a classical dance from India) as well as new, creative interpretations of the idiom. This performance was a retrospective of some of the company’s exemplary works with some contemporary twists performed by accomplished members of the company.

“Closing the evening was a Thillana……The work was a soft landing to the evening and one that highlighted every member of the group including the musicians.Though the program was long, I was sad to see it end.”
