Humans of the Art: Thillana Traditions and Innovations: A Journey of Discovery by Smt. Medha Hari


Workshop Details : 

We are pleased to announce an upcoming workshop featuring renowned dance instructor Smt Medha Hari. This workshop, titled "Thillana Traditions and Innovations: A Journey of Discovery," is an intensive weekend of dancing that will offer an in-depth exploration of this unique dance form.

During the workshop, Medha will lead the participants through a tharana and an abhang, both of which can be presented as a concluding piece set to the format of a thillana. Additionally, Medha will discuss the structure of the thillana and highlight its distinguishing features. She will extend this discussion to the treatment of this particular piece in terms of its choreography. The workshop will also elaborate on the usage of adavus in nritta centric pieces to touch upon modulation.

The goal of Prayukti's workshop series is to provide the Bay Area dance community with an opportunity to learn from and interact with exemplary artists. Participants will leave the workshop with tangible practices that they can incorporate into their dancing journeys. This workshop is not limited to learning a particular item and will offer valuable insights that participants can use to further develop their dance practice.

Please note that students are required to have prior dance experience and must be at an intermediate-advanced level in their practice. Professional dancers are welcome to apply.

We encourage you to register early as the workshop is expected to fill up quickly. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us at admin@prayuktiarts.org

About the Artist : 

Smt Medha Hari is one of the seniormost disciples of Smt. Anitha Guha and has been pursuing advanced lessons in abhinaya with Smt. Bragha Bessell. She has recently started training under renowned Danseuse Smt. Priyadarshini Govind.

Ever since her Arangetram in the year 2001, she has since matured into one of the promising artistes of her generation. As a deeply passionate dancer, her dance is a seamless blend of fluid and graceful movements with a striking sense for musicality and rhythm. Driven by a pursuit for excellence, she perseveres towards making her dance an engaging and wholesome experience while staying relevant to her audiences. 

She has toured widely giving solo performances all across The United States Of America and Australia. She has also been performing regularly in all premier institutions within the country. 

Her notable achievements include – ‘Best Individual Performer’ and ‘Gutti Vasu Memorial Prize from the Music Academy Madras, ‘Narasimhachari and Vasanthalakshmi Narasimhachari Endowment Award’ from Natyarangam, Natya Chudar from Kartik Fine Arts, Natana Bhava Padmam from Brahma Gana Sabha. She is also an empanelled artiste with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and a B Graded artiste with the Doordarshan, Kendra. 

Teaching has been Medha’s way of not just sharing, but her chance to reexamine and introspect on her learnings. She believes in nurturing curious dancers by encouraging them to think independently and approach dance with mindful practice. She also believes teaching is her way of giving back to her school and her community that have been such an intrinsic part of her growth and support system.
