A
Performance : Bharatanatyam
- The Classical Dance of South India
·
Bharatanatyam is a classical dance form
that has been practiced for ages in Southern India. The art form is linked
inseparably to the Gods and mythology, to customs and traditions, to carnatic
music, poetry and sculpture.
·
Bharatanatyam is a devotional dance. It
was originally performed by artists of the ‘Isai Vallalar’ community in
temples and courts of kings. The artists of this community were well versed in
literature, music, percussion, dance and stage decoration. They were composers,
choreographers and performers.
·
The Performers: Subhashini & Krissy
have each trained in this art form and it is their endeavor to spread the
knowledge and joy of this beautiful art through their dancing. They will
demonstrate and explain the meaning of the gestures and of the various dance
items prior to dancing each piece.
Krissy
studied intensively at the Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society for 3 years with
Sitaravamma Sandrasegaran. She also studied privately in Chennai (Madras), India
with Janardhanan-Sir of Kalakshetra College.
Subhashini
learned this tradition entirely in India, particularly in Chennai. Her training
started when she was nine. She would go to class three days a week and trained
with different teachers. When she had learned enough items and knew them well
enough, she was put on stage. Her first performance was for over two and a half
hours in 1988. Since then she has performed many times on different platforms.
There
is a strong historical bond between Kalakshetra College, the revival of
Bharatanatyam in the 20th century, and the Theosophical Society center in
Chennai. Krissy & Subhashini are honored and grateful to be dancing for the
Theosophical Society here in Seattle.

THE WORLD IS A STAGE
Willamay Pym
Back to top
Based
on this statement from Shakespeare, we will examine what this stage is all
about, what our roles are on it and how we might want to change the way we play
our parts. Willamay Pym, lifelong member of the Theosophical Society, a former
national vice president, and regular Wednesday bookshop volunteer, will explore
with us the implications of this concept.

From a life of poverty and abuse in Ireland, Christina Noble was drawn to the orphans of Viet Nam where her determination and compassion has transformed the lives of thousands of children. Her work has now reached the children of Mongolia as well.
Through
video and narrative, Rolf leads us through this dramatic story of spiritual
values that transform life and bring joy in a ravaged section of the world.
Inspired by a visit to her orphanage, Rolf – a longtime Indralaya affiliate
– and his daughter have committed themselves to a support of Christina’s
work.
