~ New for the India Dance Festival: Storytelling & dance by Bhavana Reddy with live Q&A ~

Kuchipudi exponent Bhavana Reddy tells & performs "Bhama Kalapam", a dance drama inspired on Hindu literature. It's a classic that every Kuchipudi dancer must have danced at least once. Central heroine is Satyabhama, one of Krishna’s consorts, who struggles with the fact that he has several wives. She wants him exclusively for herself and is unapologetically outspoken about this. Bhavana tells us this story and illustrates this with excerpts of her dance production.
