Why We Dance
Why We Dance expresses in movement four aspects of Kuchipudi that inspire them to dance: Heritage, Freedom, Storytelling, and Community.
Created from the words of Kalanidhi’s own dancers and set to an original score, Why We Dance expresses in movement four aspects of Kuchipudi that inspire them to dance: Heritage, Freedom, Storytelling, and Community. From a spiritual exploration of Kuchipudi’s origins, to a playful celebration of lifelong friendship, each work reveals a unique aspect of Kuchipudi that has captured the dancer’s imagination.
