Join Dancing Storytellers as they weave rhythm, song and dance into an exploration of Indian mythology and its connections to today. Presented by the Music Center. For all ages.
Celebrate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander month with this performance from Dancing Storytellers, presented by the Music Center.
Indian Mythology and Me is a dynamic dance and theater performance created by the Dancing Storytellers. This group of artists creates uplifting duets that artfully weave rhythm, song, gesture and facial expressions into an interactive exploration of Indian mythology and its connections to our world today. During this performance the artists interact directly with audience members, sometimes inviting them onto the stage where they are playfully integrated into the story. Audiences will be entertained and enlightened as they get to experience first-hand, the power of expression in Indian classical dances. Dancing Storytellers are Sheetal Gandhi, Ulka Mohanty and Shyamala Moorty.
