Commissioned by Vancouver\u2019s Mandala Arts and Culture, Sannidhanam<\/em> is a new work choreographed by the world-renowned Indian Bharatanatyam artist Rama Vaidyanathan. It is inspired by the significance of symbols in Indian philosophy, using the precise grammar and lines of Bharatanatyam to depict a sacred geometry. Performed by eight dancers including Vaidyanathan, this is an unmissable opportunity to experience the work of one of the most celebrated Bharatanatyam dancers of her generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSymbols hold a tremendous significance in Indian philosophy and many of them have become indelible tenets of knowledge and awakening. They appear to be the simplest, but are potent with layers of possibilities. This work explores the significance of the square, the circle and the triangle, integrating them with ancient literature that use them as mediums to delineate spiritual concepts. Bharatanatyam as a dance form too with its precise grammar and lines, lends it self perfectly well to depicting these sacred geometric angles and shapes.\u201d – Rama Vaidyanathan<\/p>\n
