Bharatanatyam has seen tremendous growth in the past decades or so, from its original format as Sadirattam, and after it was rechristened as Bharatanatyam and now to its modern avatar—it is extremely interesting to see the growth and the transformation that this form, one of India’s oldest, has gone through to reach this point today. Globalisation of Bharatanatyam has given it a special flavour and we see Bharatanatyam collaborating with various other dance forms both Indian and Western, to adapt and reach out to multifarious and diverse audiences of the world.

Once upon a time… is a dance statement on the power of imagination.
It is a concept that brings together multiple art forms under one roof—dance, storytelling, music, craft, puppetry, illustration and magic.
It gets you curious, makes you wonder, urges you to be inquisitive and most importantly, believe, in looking beyond the ordinary. Through movement art and fairy tales, the concept attempts to show how imagination and creativity is a core essential and if nurtured, can become a strong tool to nurture life skills.

In Indian classical dance—literature, music and dance are woven together into a beautiful tapestry of emotions. Bhava, or feeling, is an important component in dance.
Even in the fifth century poems we find these emotive songs. The poems reveal endless emotion at every level—from human to divine. They display multiple temperaments—pain and pleasure, praising and pleading, loving to scolding, and so on. These conversations can be between friends, male and female, lovers, couples, disciples and Gods.
