Many of you have been asking about my process of getting dressed and the products that I use. I mix them up and change them… but this is what I used today. Hope this helps. ♥️

Some days I’m full of energy. And other days I’m so sore that I can barely move. I still try to stick to my schedule and go through my regimen, because sometimes it’s just important to show up!
After I’ve done a show many times, it become different. The rehearsals are no longer about remembering a sequence… they become more about populating my imagination….
This shoot was a lot about “imagination “
Loved working with @suleikamueller and @aartthie .
Sorry but I’ll be photo dumping everything that I have from this shoot over the coming weeks. The photos are so beautiful!

“Once I enter the imaginative sphere, the world falls apart leaving the dewy grass, the moist leaves of the overhanging tree, the rays of sunlight escaping between the foliage of trees, and the silhouetted form of shiva in the distance to remain. I’m overwhelmed as he moves to adjust his matted locks over his shoulder… his sharp nose etched into the skyline behind. I can’t take my eyes off of him…. He looks my way and I turn away… am I shy? “

“To surrender to art and accept its vagaries, which are like the unexpected swells in a flowing river is the greatest gift of all. It carries the artist like the turbulent river after monsoon. But in acceptance, one rides the waves to the safety of the quiet ocean.
And I cannot explain the quiet in the ocean… but the silence is one one that fills your being with the voices of an entire generation, the wisdom of the ancients and the music of nature.
And within that silence, having ridden the waves of uncertainty, does the magic begin to unravel.
Let me always know how to surrender… for I know that the silence of this joy is wrought from absolutely nothing else.”
– Rukmini
This photograph sums up this emotion for me. I never knew the pictures would so beautifully capture my relationship to dance.

The prologue for “Srishti” was released today on YouTube.
I have a tendency to immerse in one subject for more than a year and create a number of works that deal with the same subject. A few years ago, I began reading about Shiva and Shakti, not one book, but many many books, and a lot of literature.
Ideas of Devi, the sri chakra, yoga, shiva, the shiva purana, etc etc
From this, I created two varnams on Shiva and Parvati, swami naan undan adimai and mohamana, I then made ‘unrequited’, the dance film “Namami yoga vidye”, “Srishti”, and more recently the ensemble production “The goddess” .
All of this work is centered around Shiva and Parvati and the philosophical metaphor their relationship.
Creating work is a slow and immersive process. And I’m not sure what is new… and what is old anymore. Everything is a matrix and the more I learn the more layered every exploration becomes…
Thankful for all the learning.
Watch all the episodes of “Srishti” on Raadha Kalpa’s YouTube channel.

The story of shiva and Parvati.
