Expressing the Expressions: A conversation with a Doctor of Kathak.


Listen Later

How do we learn about our feelings and emotions? How do we learn about the expressions that convey our emotions? How do we express our emotions through our body language and where do we go to explore our own expressions? A good starting place, that some might not immediately consider, is the dance class. The reasons people study dance can vary from a unique fitness experience, to a social outing, while others love to express themselves through movement. Expressing oneself is empowering, and using our expressions and body language to do so, can become even more empowering. Dr Vrushali is using the art of Indian Classical Dance to help others gain a deeper understanding of their emotions, expressions, body language and feelings. Today we have the honour of speaking with Dr. Vrushali, who will give us some insight into her research, work and practice.
GUEST: Dr Vrushali started training in Kathak at age 6 under the guidance of Guru Dr Manjiri Deo and Guru Mookoondrajdeo and has spent the last 23 years promoting Kathak dance. She recently completed PhD in Kathak. She acquired her BA and MA degrees from Gandharva University and an MA in Kathak. She is the recipient of numerous notable awards including the rotary excellence award and hosts many workshops for her community in her spare time.
