SUMMARY:The Goddess - Shilpakala Vedika\, Hyderabad
DESCRIPTION:The Goddess\nA Raadha kalpa Production \nBy\nRukmini Vijayakumar \nThe archetype of power\, strength and victory in india is depicted by a female form. Kali\, Devi and Durga are the forms of goddess Parvati that represent strength and power. In most cultures\, the representation of power is always held within a male form\, but the goddesses in the Hindu pantheon carry the metaphor for courage amongst various other essential aspects of life. Knowledge & creation\, wealth\, nourishment and sustenance\, strength\, power\, art\, beauty\, grace and kindness are all represented by the many goddesses. The production features three compositions that explore these various aspects of the Goddesses. \nSundari\nFeatured artist & Composer: Ambi Subramaniam \nThe indian goddesses are adorned with pearls\, rubies and diamonds\, bedecked in jewellery and draped in flowing silks. They have long hair that billows like the clouds\, beautiful voluptuous bodies\, bangles around their delicate wrists and anklets that tinkle when they walk. The goddesses are seen as sensual\, beautiful\, graceful yet powerful. \nManonmani\nFeatured artists & Composers: Sunaad Anoor & Anoor Vinod Shyam \nFrom thought comes creation. The creator and created are both Devi. They have no distance from one another\, and yet they seem separate from one another. Birds take flight\, flowers bloom\, rivers flow\, mountains rise and life begins as Devi gracefully walks. The rhythm of the universe begins. \nMaharajni\nFeatured artists: Keerthana Vaidyanathan & Raghuram Rajagopalan\nComposer: Raghuram Rajagopalan \nPower in a female form\, in the modern world is often depicted without sensuality. A sensual woman in the contemporary world is objectified by commercial media. The indian goddesses hold power while also being sensual and sexual. Kali possesses supreme beauty while simultaneously exuding strength and ferocity. Maharajni\, is the ruler of the universe. She instills fear while also being the kindest and most loving. \nChoreography & Direction\nRukmini Vijayakumar \nRehearsal Directors\nPadmashree & Asokavadhani \nDancers\nRukmini Vijayakumar\nPadmashree\nAsokavadhani\nAnusha Yash\nPriyadarshini Rajendran\nSamyuktha Jujare\nSurabhi Gopal\nReanna Ranjan\nManasvee Gupta \nLight Design\nGyandev Singh \nMusic\nAmbi Subramaniam : Violin\nKeerthana Vaidyanathan : Vocals\nRaghuram Rajagopalan : Vocals\nSunaad Anoor : Percussion\nAnoor Vinod Shyam : Mridangam & Percussion \nPhotography:\nVivian Ambrose

SUMMARY:Abducted - Unbounded Desire - Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:The Raadha Kalpa Dance Company\nAbducted\nUnbounded desire \nAn experimental Bharatanatyam solo by Rukmini Vijayakumar \nConcept & Choreography: Rukmini Vijayakumar\nVocals: Rajeev Rajagopalan\nSarangi : Sarfaraz Khan\nPercussion: Sunaad Anoor\nVocal support : Jyotsna Panicker \n\nLight design : Gyandev Singh \nThe female body is physically weaker than the male body. It is easily dominated by virtue of inherently not possessing the same amount of strength as a man. A woman’s body is projected as an object of desire repeatedly through centuries by societies. The image of a submissive\, helpless woman is repeated through history\, across cultures. It is an image that is used to sell commercial merchandise repeatedly. \nA woman almost always feels a sense of helplessness in situations of physical confrontation with a man. ‘Abducted’ is inspired by stories of abduction and abuse from India and around the world. The act of abusing someone indicates an incapacity to consider another human. It is a desire with no boundaries. Populations have begun to come to terms with degrees of abuse that exist in many forms and shapes. What have we done as societies to cultivate this kind of culture? The position of women has constantly been a point of contention at work\, in homes\, in politics\, in the field of education etc. The representation of a physically strong woman in the modern world\, in films and comics is often attached to the physical objectification of women; but a powerful woman in the workplace is shown wearing a suit with hair slicked back. Can we represent strength and power in a female body without objectification\, while also embracing the feminine? \nOne of the only archetypes of power\, carried in a female body is the image of the Indian goddess\, Kali. Kali is embraced as a figurative female energy that holds within herself the ability to annihilate evil and rejuvenate life. She is the keeper of time and space. This particular image has no objectification of the female body attached to it. Kali is sensual\, but does not cater to the male gaze as a sexual object. She is also not ‘pure’ in the sense of being devoid of sexual energy. \nAt which point does the abuse of power bring out the Kali in us. At which point does a woman’s desire materialise? When does she wield her power\, strength and take charge of her sexuality? \nRun time: 40 min\nAge: 16 yrs and above \nChoreography & dance Rukmini Vijayakumar | Music composition R Raghuram | Light design Niranjan Gokhale/ Gyan Dev SIngh | Premiered at The Attakalari Biennial 2022\n\n\n\nBooking links    \nhttps://rzp.io/l/Abducted  \nhttps://in.bookmyshow.com/events/abducted/ET00376010?webview=true

SUMMARY:Anubhava - USA Tour
DESCRIPTION:ANUBHAVA\nAn experience of the senses \nConcept & Choreography: Rukmini Vijayakumar\nMusic Direction and Composition: Ambi Subramaniam\nPercussion: Rohan Krishnamurthy\nLight Design: Gyandev SIngh\nProduction: Sruthi Sailesh \nWe know and understand this world through our senses. They are our primary sources of knowledge. Within the theater\, performers create imaginary circumstances that feel like true experiences to members of the audience. These experiences leave the members of the audience feeling as though they have witnessed something so close to them that they feel emotions rising within\, but they do not carry the weight of these emotions home with them. This cathartic experience that audiences enjoy within a theater is called “Rasa” in the Indian tradition. \nIn order to experience Rasa\, there must be Anubhava\, or an experience of the senses. Ambi and Rukmini come together in Anubhava\, a unique performance of 3 movements that will weave stories and experiences for the audience to immerse in. \nRun time: 75 – 90 mins  \nAge restriction: None

SUMMARY:Ishwara - The Studio Theatre\, Mumbai
DESCRIPTION:Ishwara by Rukmini Vijayakumar\nIt was choreographed in memory of her father\, K Vijayakumar. \nParvati and Parameshwara\, Shiva and Sati\, Masculine and Feminine\, Purusha and Prakruti\, are the many names that describe this mystery of creation. \nThrough Vedanta\, we realise that all of this universe is an embodiment of Ishwara. Shiva and Parvati represent the unmanifest and the manifest in the world around us. The puranas reference the physical manifest forms of Shiva and Parvati as symbolic representations of this philosophy\, attributing human qualities and emotions to relate trivial\, often humorous interactions between them. The stories ultimately carry the idea of both representing all of creation\, but in the manifest forms often not realising it. \nIshwara\, is a journey of human emotion\, love\, loss\, and realisation through the eyes of Shiva and Parvati.
