Storytelling through MovementBharatanatyam, a major form of Indian classical dance â reflecting 2000 years of tradition- tells a story. The first syllable âBhaâ stands for Bhava [mood], the second syllable âraâ stands for Rasa [sentiment], and the third syllable âtaâ stands for Tala [rhythm], the three important aspects of the form.Sindhura School of Dance, led by Priya Krishnan, will showcase the elegance and beauty of this classical Indian dance form through innovative set pieces. Combining rhythm, hand gestures and facial expressions, these dances will convey exotic tales from Indian mythology and folklore. Among the several pieces there is a depiction of Moana: a piece, based on the movie, set to Indian music and Bharatanatyam style of expression and movement. "In Moana," the daughter of a Polynesian chief, Moana embarks on a journey to save her people after a blight strikes their island, learning that the demigod Maui stole the heart of the goddess Te Fiti, causing the problem. She seeks Maui's help to return the heart and restore life, facing dangers and discovering her own identity along the way".This program is supported by the Friends of George Mason Regional Library and the Friends of Kings Park Library.About Priya KrishnanPriya was trained under the tutelage of Smt.
