‘BarbieeNatyam’, (the Dance of Barbies) is a fusion of
Indian classical and
modern dance featuring five women. It is a satirical
look at Barbie culture and
how it affects the perception of women’s bodies.
Drawing from childhood
experiences, the dance raises important questions
about female body image.
‘When I was most beautiful’ is a haunting anti-war
piece inspired by Noriko Ibaraki’s
poem of the same name, set to music by Pete Seger.
The solo dance, performed
by choreographer Aparna Sindhoor, explores the depth
of tragedy that war inflicts
on women. Accompanied by live music, the work is full
of interactive
improvisation between the dancer and the musician.
‘Agua Thanneer Water’ (water water water), written and
co-directed by
Boston-based writer, Raju Sivasankaran. The
challenging interplay of
solo dance, music, and theater brings alive two
stories about common people’s
struggle to get water: one set in Madurai, India and
another in Cochabamba,
Bolivia. Sindhoor’s performance, both powerful and
exquisite, portrays the
struggles faced by the common woman in a piece that
blends Indian classical
and folk dance, modern western-style theatre, and
world music. (March 22nd
is World Water Day)
Critics have called Aparna Sindhoor’s choreography
“hauntingly effective”, a
body of work that “conveys boldly dramatic stories”.
Another critic raved:
“Aparna Sindhoor does not just dance. She becomes one
with the stage.”
Sindhoor is the founder and Artistic Director of
Navarasa Dance Theater.
