Shiva Tandav Stotram | An exploration | Bharatanatyam | Sukanya Kumar

Please support us on Patreon ►   / sukanyakumar   What goes into choreographing a piece? Choreography is a lot more than choosing a set of adavus/steps and hand gestures to match the meaning, or even striking a few poses. Often, choosing the song is an important part of the choreography. This video is an experiment to share with you how tune, tenor, texture, translation and transcreation in music and lyrics can affect movement choices. I chose the popular Shiva Tandav Stotram for this, because of it's complex lyrical meaning that is set in a very simple poetic meter of Panchachamaram. Lets celebrate this MahaShivratri with 7 versions of the Shiv Tandav Stotram!
