Shades of Love: Padams & Javalis

In this concert, Ganesh Vasudeva and Snigdha Venkatramani showcase a selection of poems from South India through Bharatanatyam, a form of Indian classical dance that originated in the temples of Tamil Nadu. These male-oriented and heroine-based poems are taken up to portray myriad shades of love.

Featuring:
Ganesh Vasudeva – abhinaya (miming)
Snigdha Venkatramani – abhinaya, vocals
Srinivas Pisharath – vocals
Akshay Venkatesan – percussion
Nyantara Narasimhan – violin

Ganesh Vasudeva, one of the Bay Area’s leading Bharatanatyam dancers, has trained for 30 years with renowned teachers and has performed extensively in India, the U.S. and France. Over past few years, Ganesh has choreographed and presented his own work to critical acclaim. As a researcher, his interests include male-oriented compositions that are suitable to present on stage.
