Dance Repertoire

For Pavithra, dance is just not an expression of conventional aesthetics and renderings of emotions, but an expression of her prayer, that seeks to entertain, educate and enlighten her audience.

Her work is built like spiderwebs: delicate enough to blow on, yet surprisingly durable against the wind and rain; elegant but dotted with radiant shapes in an accurate shifting geometry of movements, mime and melody.
