“Subhaashitam.” It is Sanskrit for “good words”, words of wisdom, words that make us think, words that educate, inspire, and convey universal human values. Indian classical dance has always linked movement to words. As a temple dance form, Bharatanatyam has traditionally used lyrics that are religious or devotional in nature. Yet Bharatanatyam’s expressive gestural language can be used to illuminate all kinds of stories and ideas, inspiring choreographers today to find or commission lyrics from non-traditional and non-religious sources. This program uses both conventional and non-conventional “Subhaashitam” to explore the arena of human values.
