MYTHILI PRAKASH DANCE ENSEMBLE - Richmond Folk Festival 2020

MYTHILI PRAKASH DANCE ENSEMBLE
BHARATA NATYAM
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Mythili Prakash stands at the forefront of the next generation of dancers carrying on the 3,000-year-old South Indian dance tradition of Bharata Natyam. A second generation Indian and American artist, she is among the most celebrated Bharata Natyam dancers and choreographers today. Adored by audiences in India and across the diaspora, her mission is to transcend cultural barriers and bring Bharata Natyam into the mainstream of American arts. “Dance was my first language,” she says. “Through the music, the stories, the characters, and the philosophy … I identified the world around me. That’s perhaps why even though my passport and accent are American, my connection with Indian dance is truly what shapes my identity.”

Gorgeous dancing! Personally, I find the vihasita distractingly anachronistic.
