How to get there

Rooted in research into the Shiva Sutras, the Sangeetha Ratna Kara, and the Natya Shastra, Birth of Sound follows one unbroken thread: how sound became mantra, mantra became melody, melody found expression, and expression became dance. Audiences can expect classical Bharatanatyam with expressive abhinaya, Sanskrit texts brought to life through movement, and a journey from stillness to the complete art of Natyam. No prior knowledge of Indian classical dance is needed, only curiosity and a willingness to listen with your whole body.


Highlight: a solo, research-driven work by an artist with 23+ years of training, and a rare chance to see the ancient origin story of Indian music and dance on stage.
