Description: The purpose of Thillana is to promote South Asian Culture through the art of South Asian dance. We intend on incorporating South Asian dance forms such as Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Mohiniyattam, Kuchupudi, Odissi and infuse these classical art forms with modern dance techniques. In performing these dances we will blend three elements of South Asian Dance Bhava or expressions, Raga or musical melody and Tala or rhythm. In using both classical art forms and modern dance techniques we hope to create a bond between the many cultures of South Asia and our present.
Practice days and times: Tuesday 10-11 p.m.
