Composing for abstraction

MUSIC helps in adding a great deal when it comes to layering visuals for the audience, especially when the dancer attempts to show evolution using abstractions that will amplify the subtle movements.

Navia Natarajan, a Bengaluru-based Bharatanatyam dancer, was exploring the concept of 'paradox' through her solo dance production, Virodh bh sa. She brings out 'paradox' through four segments (i) Origin: Form & Formless; (ii) Birth: Creation Transformation; (iii) Love: Independence & Intimacy; (iv) Tuning: Chaos & Silence. Navia, as an ar& tiste, is intuitive, aware, and deep, this makes her intellectual and original as an artiste. Thoughts, such as hers, are the ones that push the boundaries of tradition.
