Odissi is a sculpture in motion!
You continue to dance & lose yourself to the music. Its the cameras job to capture you in these frozen sculpture like moments.
Remembering 2013 June when I traveled back from Florida to Newark & went to perform in Delaware Hindu Temple. It was a very long day indeed with hours of driving thrown in. Those were the days dancing & rehearsing with my alma mater RDM in New Jersey.
Trance in Devine dance! What an expression!
A beautiful soulful recitation of the Gayatri Mantra on the 1st of January to usher in the New Year. What else can be this powerful?
2021 putting on my creative hat & getting inspired by my students. Feel the music in your soul & translate it using Odissi!
2021 begins with a sunset dance workshop where Mima Geere did a splendid job presenting Odissi so beautifully.
Emotions are Feelings in E-motion. Choosing emotions by understanding the initial sensation is a feeling: identifying past emotional roots; exchanging for refined emotions when helpful; Cognitive Reframing is one method but loses its effectiveness as behavior modificating, based primarily on denying an emotion.

In todays age of social media striking a pose seems super easy! You need to realize that these poses are from Indian temple walls : the mudras, body stance & angles have to be perfect. You try to immerse yourself in the pose & give it a deeper meaning!
For many years I never did photoshoots! I only let photographers shoot me live on stage so that they captured my raw emotions!!
Wonderful
Beautiful!
