At Prayukti Arts, we believe that engaging with art is not just about appreciating the final product, but also understanding the creative process and the people behind it. Enter the Humans of the Art series, where art students and enthusiasts can connect with visiting artists in an informal setting.
Our meet-ups provide a platform to discuss common topics of interest, learn new perspectives, and get inspired. We encourage suggestions for diverse and emerging artistic perspectives, and the content is not limited to dance. The meet-ups can take various formats, including Q&As, lectures, demonstrations, workshops, or social meet-and-greets – depending on the style and context of the visiting artist!
Most of our community programs are free to attend, but some events featuring visiting artists may have a ticket fee. Keep an eye out for our upcoming Artist Meet-Ups and join us in connecting with the creative minds behind the art!
We are excited to meet..
Humans of the ARt, Series 7 : SHRI RENJITH BABU AND SMT VIJNA VASUDEVAN
FINDING HARMONY IN MOTION : A DUET MASTERCLASS
The idea of Duet Dynamics was born out of the appreciation for the collaborative aspect of Bharatanatyam. Historically, this art form predominantly thrived as a solo performing art, but over the last decade, it has evolved to embrace ensembles and group performances, where collective work has gained prominence. As dancers share space with others, a crucial question arises: How does one adapt to this new dimension of interacting with other dancing bodies? In response to this, the vision of Duet Dynamics emerged, with a specific focus on exploring the connection between dancing bodies.
In this endeavor, we are honored to be guided by none other than Renjith Babu and Vijna Vasudevan, renowned as the Dancing Duo. They have graciously accepted our invitation to impart their expertise and knowledge to the aspiring dancers of the Bay Area, enlightening them on the pursuit of harmony in motion.
Through this workshop, participants will be led through explorative sessions with compositions that will touch upon nritta and abhinaya aspects in both solo and duet format. Registration is open for both individual participants and pairs. We extend a warm invitation to those who are already part of an ensemble or collaborate with fellow dancers to join the workshop together. This allows participants to work on enhancing their group dynamics and synchronicity. For those without partners, we will facilitate pairing opportunities during the workshop upon registrations.
Additionally, Shri. Renjith Babu will also conduct sessions on Yoga and Conditioning specifically tailored for dancers. His extensive and dedicated study of dance, yoga, and martial arts has endowed him with a profound scientific and spiritual comprehension of the human body and its intricate movements.
