SUMMARY:Echoes of Time
DESCRIPTION:Echoes of Time presents a series of solo works in the classical Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam that examine how time is experienced\, remembered\, and imagined. The program moves across temporal states: the past\, where memory reconstructs and reshapes experience; the present\, where time may dilate or contract under emotion and attention; and the future\, where aspiration and desire give form to what has yet to unfold. \nThrough traditional repertoire\, the evening highlights how these dimensions of time have long been encoded within the structure and storytelling of the form\, through cyclical rhythm\, layered narrative\, and expressive interpretation. Echoes of Time brings these elements into focus\, tracing how Bharatanatyam renders time not as a fixed continuum\, but as something elastic\, subjective\, and deeply human. \nDR. SHRIYA SRINIVASAN: \nDr. Shriya Srinivasan is a Bharathanatyam artist known for her vibrant stage presence and mature emotive depth\, trained under Guru Smt. Sujatha Srinivasan. Shriya has performed widely at prestigious venues in the United States and in India. Blending her training in Carnatic music\, neuroscience\, and biomedical engineering\, she brings a unique perspective to her practice and choreography. Shriya cofounded and co-directs the Anubhava Dance Company. Shriya recently co-curated ‘Intersections’\, an international conference focused on the evolution of the Indian classical forms. \nTickets Here\n\nIf you or a guest in your party has accessibility needs for this event\, please contact Joe Juknievich at joe@dancecomplex.org or (617) 547-9363.
