February 15, 2007
[INDIAN DANCE] "Poetry in Motion" is a performance that showcases both the rich beauty of traditional Indian dance and contemporary movement, featuring local dancers Sarala Dandaker, Jody Soltau and Subashini Ganesan. This performance combines traditional Odissi and Bharat Natyam dance with elaborate costumery, original music from India and full, unedited choreography. The choreographers deem "Poetry in Motion" as a celebration of "the body as an expression of sacred geometry," and seek to enhance traditional dances through the use of poetry and the merging of dance styles, both traditional and modern. Tickets: $15 adults, $10 keiki. The Studio Maui, Haiku, 575-9390.
