*An earlier project: "Bharatanatyam Variations"
http://www.rajikapuri.com/bnvars_flier.html (which was on hold since my
dance partner, Preeti Vasudevan went off to get an MA at the Laban School in
London) was an exploration of traditional Bharatanatyam from a 'post-modern-
perspective. This time I go one further, which is to look at the
inspiration for the first project - the mathematical structures behind
Bach's work - in particular, the permutations and combinations he uses in
his FUGUES.
Having fun, but don't have enough time to rehearse the pianist or the my
second dancer.
But the project is 'alive', and now Preeti is back and flying in for our
last performance. Hurrah!
