O2 Rendezvous with Art presents "Vihaasa: The Wisdom in Humour" A Bharatanatyam performance that blends joy with profound insight. This presentation transforms humour into a powerful narrative, where intricate movements and expressive gestures convey playful yet meaningful stories, shedding light on deeper truths about life and society. Through the lens of laughter, our dancers invite the audience to reflect on human experiences and relationships, illustrating how humour can reveal wisdom. "Vihaasa" is a delightful journey that celebrates the art of discovering enlightenment in the light-hearted moments of existence.
Imperfection is perfection to a beautiful perspective. Such is the beautiful perspective that continues to shape the artistic journey of a kalakshetra alumni couple, founders and directors of Indisha Fine Arts, Sri Nidheesh and Smt. Indu. With the staple perfection of the kalakshetra bani, and the attention to details of the imperfections of daily life, Indu and Nidheesh bring to their dancing an honesty and reality found in our surroundings, by highlighting the beauty and perfection in the subtle imperfections that we all live among. From this they have imbibed a mindset that their art must fulfill a social responsibility in addition to helping themselves reach a higher energy on a personal level.
The duo feels fortunate for the wealth of opportunities they were given leading to their diploma and post diploma from kalakshetra, and attribute their success to the numerous renowned gurus who have provided guidance and training that they feel blessed to receive. Nidheesh and Indu were conferred the Yuvakalabharathi by Bharathkalachar, Chennai in the year 2015 in recognition for their artistry, and their love and dedication for this art form speaks for itself in their annual and monthly Indisha events, as they pursue this divine artistic journey together.
Indu and Nidheesh continue to be a great source of inspiration and encouragement to each other, along their journey of performing, creating good work, and taking the arts to higher levels and better places.
