VARNAM SALON now in New York,
curated by Srinidhi Raghavan and Sri Thina Subramaniam
The Varnam Salon NYC, curated by Srinidhi and Sri Thina in the hope to extend and encourage the continued practice and presentation of such a pivotal piece and with that build a platform for dancers to not just present but also discuss their work and process with other artists and their viewers. The Varnam Salon NYC was launched with a mission to serve bharatanatyam dancers in the East Coast with a community for dancers to gather, present and reflect on their work.
Varnam refers to the main piece of the bharatanatyam repertoire and intertwines both abhinaya (expressive narration) and nritta (pure dance). It is known for its complexity in structure, essence, and execution and is a testament to the mental and physical stamina of the artist. A Varnam is also often an exploration of relationships for both the performer and the audience.
