part of Dance Place’s 2018-2019 DISCOVER Season. The production is
presented in four movements, each representing one aspect of Kuchipudi
that inspires the company to dance. The evening opens
with Heritage, a homage to the artistic, cultural, and philosophical
lineage that connects each dancer to her roots. Freedom follows next,
presenting dance as a respite from the banal and
often disconnected nature of daily life. In the third movement,
Storytelling, Kuchipudi’s rich dance drama tradition of character and
narrative expression is showcased through the mythological tale of
Savitri and Satyavan. The evening ends with Community, an imaginative
interplay of rhythm and pattern that illustrates how dance creates a camaraderie unmatched by any other relationship in life.
