Padmashri Geeta Chandran
Acclaimed dancer Padmashri Geeta Chandran from India presents a new two-hour long production in the classical dance technique of Bharatanatyam: “Satyam Shivam Sundaram-The Search for Eternity!†at the Peabody Essex Museum. The performance reiterates Indian values of Truth, Eternity and Aesthetics.
In Satyam Shivam Sundaram-The Search for Eternity! Geeta uses dance as a means of communicating key artistic and aesthetic values in the Indian classical philosophical tradition. The dance of Krishnais presented as one pulsating with Life, the dance of Shiva as the dance of Change, and the dance of Devi as the dance of Action.
Geeta Chandran was recently conferred The Padmashri: one of the highest and prestigious awards from the President of India for her groundbreaking work in the world of dance, music, education, dance-activism and addressing women’s social concerns through dance. She has also authored a book So Many Journeys, an intensely personal collection of her writings narrating her engagement with Bharatanatyam.
