Creating Soundscapes: Rhythms in the Dance and Music of India

Explore the harmony and interplay of the auditory rhythms of Indian music and the kinetic rhythms of Indian dance. Learn to express rhythmic patterns using your eyes, neck, limbs, and feet. In traditional South Indian dance, the “nattuvanar” or dance conductor/choreographer recites “jathis” (rhythmic patterns) which are then transcribed into abstract dance. Whether or not jathis are accompanied by movement, they are beautiful to hear, and a joy to create and render.
