Adyananta (ah-dee-yahn-NAHN-tha), in Sanskrit, roughly means “that with no beginning nor end.”
Adyananta will celebrate the Mudra Dance Studio style: High energy. Engaging. Percussive. Roots in the north-Indian classical tradition of Kathak, infused with Gurus Namita and Eishita Nariani’s contemporary and inclusive influences: Bharatnatyum, Tango, West African, Samba, and Jazz. Endings are but a part of our rhythms. Artists, perhaps more than anyone, deeply consider endings. The end of a dancer’s movement is every bit as important as its beginning. The last of a note through a flute gives as much meaning as its beginning.
Poems rhyme. Songs conclude. Rhythms resolve.
Endings are necessary. They give meaning to the present and they establish beginnings. This is true of the shared rhythms in our world: cosmic, spiritual, and human journeys of grief, joy, and discovery. Endings are transitions.
And so we ask the question: What if we are facing an end? How do we consider this possibility, not with apocalyptic fear but as deeply linked beings contemplating how we work together, honoring our humanity, and resolving our connected rhythms?
Join us in asking questions about endings, however you may be present.
All ages are welcome.
