Explorations interfaces science, technology, philosophy, and medicine with dance in a theatrical foray traversing the complexities of human behavior. Utilizing the vocabulary of Bharatanatyam (Indian classical dance) to explore a myriad of themes - including scientific exploration, mental health, and multicultural literature- each piece dissects a different component of movement through intellectual and artistic lenses. Explorations is presented by Samarpanam Houston and is funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
This program will feature leading young professionals from the Indian dance diaspora: Shriya Srinivasan, Joshua George, Sita Vakkalanka, Shriya Srinivas & Swathi Jaisankar.
