"Creative life with Kolam" A multimedia presentation about the Kolam by Grace Gitadelila & Savitri from Auroville at The Attic, 36, Regal Building, CP > 7pm on 19th December 2012
Time : 7:00 pm
Event Description : “Creative life with Kolam” A multimedia presentation about the Kolam by Grace Gitadelila and Savitri from Auroville.
Kolam is a form of geometric floor painting using rice or chalk powder, commonly used by Hindu family members in front their homes, mainly in South India but also in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand. It is a line drawing composed of curved loops, drawn around a grid pattern of dots.
Kolams are thought to bestow prosperity. Every morning in Tamil Nadu, millions of women draw kolams on the ground with white rice powder. Through the day, the drawings get walked on, rained out, or blown around in the wind; new ones are made the next day before sunrise.
Auroville based dancer and choreographer Grace Gitadelila will share her ongoing research on Kolam, going beyond the superficial into its beauty and metaphysical meanings through dance and the use of audio visual tools which were created by Grace and Sasikanth Somu.
Grace grew up in Pondicherry and Auroville. She studied Bharathanatyam in Kalekshetra and Contemporary, Modern and Jazz dance in Holland. And West-Africa taught her the origins of authentic Movement and its Intentions.
Savitri, born in Auroville studied dance with Grace. Being a professional Bharathanatyam Dancer and a graduate of the Attakkalari Contemporary Dance school of Bangalore, she will perform in this event together with Grace.
Sasikanth from Pondicherry / Australia is an Art, Photo and Videography Teacher, for this production he has created the multimedia presentation.
