Bharatanatyam for creative aging at the 5th avenue NYPL (2)Over the last several weeks, I've had the pleasure of working with learners at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library. Over seven weeks, we explored movement, rhythm, mythology, and music! A participant Aravind Mallipudi, who curates Hrudayam Art Gallery remarked "I feel more alive and reconnected to my roots with every ritual and expression of our culture. So Thank You for your class and allowing me to share my own passion and knowledge with our participants." We had the chance to show and share our beloved plants as well, and one participant had this to say: "They are all of love and beauty and part of the cosmos. I have so enjoyed the universal connection that I have experienced in your teaching. It transcends and combines all (positive) thoughts and beliefs. Producing relaxation and encouragement. The class is ending, but the relationship with what you introduced hasn’t."
