About this event
The Body Poetic: Exploration through Indian Dance and Poetry
Find the joy of poetry, expression, movement, music, and storytelling with teaching artists Sloka Iyengar and Lauren Mazow Boyle. Explore Bharatanatyam, a 2,000-year-old dance form that originated in South India, as it entwines with the poetic arts. In this interactive, live 4-week workshop series via Zoom, participants will explore works by poets of Indian origin, dive into the language of emotions (called rasas), and create collaborative poetry inspired by movement in the Bharatanatyam style to strengthen community connections.
Participation in the movement is encouraged. One can either do this from a sitting or standing position as it primarily involves hand movements.
We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes.
