The Dakshina Repertory Launch

An Introduction
Dakshina has been a dream in the making for as long as I can remember. Even as a student in the US, I was passionate about bringing dancers together and creating works that inspired an appreciation of Bharatanatyam through innovative and engaging narratives. When I moved back to India in 2011 with a heart full of dreams, I never imagined how fulfilling the journey would soon become!
Now, after many years of learning from great masters, teaching students, and touring with some of the most inspiring dancing minds, I place before you my offering: my love for the dance.
Dakshina.

On October 29. 2023, my five students and I will bring our shared love for Bharatanatyam through a production that celebrates music, poetry, and the wholesome power of togetherness. We premiere this production in Chennai this year, and plan to tour the US early next year in 2024!
My dear students Sayujya, Srimalli, Shrinaagi, Swathi and Manasa have put their hearts entirely into making this dream that was once mine now theirs.
And so, we seek your love and blessings in this endeavor ✨

Truly,
Divya


THE PRODUCTION
When you experience a work of art, where does the artist's imagination end and yours begin?
in poetry, how often have the words ceased to exist while the meaning emerged between the lines?
What makes music linger even after the musician has stopped playing?

Dṛśya | Adṛśya is this journey that the artist and audience embark on together, with the experience of one mirroring the other as they encounter the seen and the unseen in a fluid embrace.
