In conversation with Rukmini Vijayakumar

An artist, other than a burning passion for their art, requires a steadfast support system, a great team and sufficient funds. We spoke to Bharatnatyam dancer and actor, Rukmini Vijayakumar about the inspiration behind her latest project, 'The Dark Lord' and what went into making her vision a reality.

This woman has such an overpowering combination of grace, beauty, talent and humility. A rare manifestation!

[@galt6052]

Nithya Palanisamy have you seen her in person. Least humble! That alone adds beauty to a woman

[@seemachaudhary228]

@@galt6052 realy..she is not humble🤔

[@galt6052]

Seema Chaudhary shockingly arrogant. She cane for a workshop. Least prepared and least professional but very snooty! No wonder she’s not treated in the league of Padma Subramanyams!

[@manjulammm]

Yesss yesss

[@Dashya.]

Galt her teacher is Padmini Rao not Padma subramaniyam

[@srik0322]

She represents a complete spectrum of a Woman. Grace, Beauty, Dignity, Presence Commitment and Integrity to the art she chose.

I discovered Rukmini just this year, I’m a huge fan of her work. As a westerner I do not understand all the dance moves or there significant but she is graceful, passionate and beautiful. Watching her is like like watching living history. Her dancing is more than movement it’s a form of worship. ❤🙏🏻

Heartful thanks to the parents who give the nation one of the gems...

[@sivadurga470]

Such a beautiful dancer... bcz I saw her dance yesterday is means 21.2.2020 thanjavour its awesome.... I really love her dance.....

[@priyarajan871]

Take a lifetime of commitment. Add to it ample grace and poise. Blend in synchronised movement. Simmer this in striking beauty. Toss in innovative thinking. Freeze it in time. That captivating end product is you, Rukmini jee. India's pride, other nations' envy. Really wonderful to see your videos. Hope to meet you someday.

[@bigjaw93]

I loved her philosophy on the idea of surrender. Might take that home with me. Surrendering to a cause, like dancing, family etc.. just wow.

Godess Saraswati herself resides in her retreat called Rukmini Vijayakumar ! So true .. how art is dependent on monetary support nowadays ! Wish we get to an era where.. followers of Saraswati need not be so dependent on Godess Lakshmi ! ❤️ Times do change.. good times are ahead ! Praying for days of real prosperity! Where there is a fine balance between the two !

Yes Rukmini u r right. Its not like a commission work. Regarding funding. As a human being funding without any selifness is worthy.

Definitely.. u r d best & best wishes for u r future projects & u r team. 👌👍❤❤

Usually dance these days are knncted wth performance.I found yr talk nd dance doesnt just perform.... Actually yr able to emote the soul... Xpressing. Yu hv no audience in front but yu relate wth each individual. Tht demarcation of gttng lost in dance makes yu different. Stay blessed.... The art demands much more.💐🌈
