What we will learn:

Explore new – ancient insights into the Odissi style!  This workshop series aims to empower Odissi dancers with a deeper practice and understanding (both in the body and mind) of the Chāri (ways of walking), Nritta Hasta, Hasta Karana, postures and some aspects of Karana written in the ancient treatise on dance: Natya Shastra.  

Through Colleena’s recent years of research into the 108 Karanas of Natya Shastra, she discovered many familiar movement designs, dynamics, postures and aesthetics which has remained abstract and unnamed in Odissi.  Upon locating them in the series of Karana she has begun to elaborate and explore beyond our regular stepping practice.  Join her on an exploration of these movements within the context of Odissi Dance.

Classes begin with warm up exercises and will move right into a careful breakdown of vinyasas, steps and phrases.  Each class will include theoretical conversations as well as practical applications.  Some homework and creative exercises will be given between the 2 sessions.  

*Participants attending live will receive extra teaching and content – please join us!
