Day One: Abhinaya

July 26, 2014 by Varsha Seshan 2 Comments

The day was full of surprises, with just two participants for our workshop.
We had questions about whether we should cancel. We decided against it, and perhaps it was a good thing.

The workshop was an experience.
Things that we had planned could not take place simply because there were not enough people. Yet, it taught us much. I came away with no regrets about having done it, but lots of questions. Tomorrow will be an experience too. With a performance scheduled, it will be strange if there are just two people, and even stranger if there are fewer.

Maybe more will show up; maybe not. If nothing else, twenty years of training in Bharatanatyam will stand us in good stead. It helps when dance is flowing through your veins!

    Hey Varsha, I used to learn Bharatnatyam from Mrs Mythili Raghavan around the same time you and your sister Nisha were training with her. I would like to know if your workshops take place often. Is there some way that I could get in touch with you. I want to resume learning and I dont know any place that I could go to.

      Hi Rhea,
      Nisha and I do conduct workshops quite often. The best way to know about them is through this blog and through my Facebook page. I’ve also sent you an email about the details of dance classes. 🙂
