Indian Classical Dance In The Streets Of NYC
Presenting Jiva Dance's recently released short film, “Urban Nritta” which features Indian Classical dance against the backdrop of New York City. Our nritta (pronounced: nrit-thah), synchronizes original dance and music with the constant rhythms of the city where we live and create. In the film, Jiva Dance performs “Into the Battlefield,” from our original work “Mayura: Blue Peacock,” a dramatic scene depicting the dance of the mighty peacock, the vehicle of the war deity, Murugan, as it prepares to go into battle. The dance moves seamlessly through different environments, creating a dialogue between the movements of bodies and places as it tells its story.
