Event Description : DANCE : Natya Vriksha presents Bharatanatyam Arangetram Performance by Archana Shivan, Disciple of Guru (Padmashri) Geeta Chandran.

ARCHANA SHIVAN has been learning Bharatanatyam under Geeta Chandran’s tutelage at Natya Vriksha since the age of 8; she has pursued learning the dance for the past 14 years.
Completing her schooling from The Mother’s International School, Archana has just completed her graduation in Sociology from Miranda House, Delhi University.
She has represented her institutions in several music and dance festivals and has won accolades for the same. Archana was also one of the few dancers chosen to represent Bharatanatyam at the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony’s centerpiece choreography entitled The Tree of Knowledge, presented in New Delhi in 2010. 
A socially conscious person, Archana interned with institutions like CRY, Project Aawaaz, Pratham and AIESEC, which took her to Poland where she taught English to underprivileged Polish children.
As a practitioner of Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism, Archana believes that through both her academic pursuits and dance, she can truly create a change in society.
Having an entrepreneurial bent of mind, she started a small handicraft business, which supports her social work activities.
From July 2016, Archana will be pursuing her Masters in Public Policy and Governance from the prestigious Azim Premji University in Bangalore.

Archana is deeply inspired by her teacher Geeta Chandran and feels catalysed by the values that Geeta has instilled in her over the past fourteen years.
