Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – I love the slowness in this portion of the Varnam. It gives me space for the internal thoughts of the character. When I watch a video after a performance…. There are some times that I see it and go…. “Oh! I didn’t realise that I was that fast, or I didn’t know it looked so clean” but these times are very few. Most of the times I look at the video and I go “arm didn’t stretch fully. Why did my shoulder go up there? I should have gone lower. Why didn’t my leg finish? My heel is not fully up.” Etc Both are good… and both contribute to my progress… I just think that it’s always important to stay humble with the art. No matter how much one knows…. No one knows it all. #learning #gettingbettereveryday #bharatanatyam #charukeshi #varnam #carnatic #indiandance
