Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – 2024
It’s been an eventful year! and Im not sure that this reel captures everything that the year held for me, but its a collection of moments.
Ive had about 35 performances, Taught two full residential dance intensives, received 3 awards, run two half marathons with my coach @somyarout2806 , got to 25 mts freediving, spent a substantial amount of time choreographing on my students for their solo performances, and also moved to a new home this year.
I also birthed my comic self @ruks_avatars . A very scary thing for me, because comedy is the hardest thing! And I wasn’t sure about doing it until my dive buddies convinced me to dive into it. Also had some lovely dance collaborations that forced me out of my comfort zone.
So much has happened this year….
What I’m happy for are the moments of pause. I met friends, made time for family, spent a lot of time with Kong, shared some precious moments with my dance Gurus, ate butter idlis, read a lot of books and painted after a very long time. I also made time to train a lot, and work on myself artistically and otherwise.
I had the best time with all the artists that I worked with! SO many this year… but i had a blast with my besties @raghuram_rajagopalan @shyam_rhythmgam @khanjiraboy who were around for most things!
I’m so grateful for all the organisers & people who invited me to workshops, performances, awards, talks and events.
Wishing you all a very very joyous 2025!
