Full details

Brief Introduction INTRODUCTION TO BHARATANATYAM WORKSHOP With Eeshani Lasya DATE Saturdays | 10, 17, 24 and 31 October HOURS | 3.30 pm to 5.00 pm PARTICIPANTS | Min. 5, Max. 20 PRICE | €25 / session or €80 / 4 sessions This four-session journey proposes an immersion into the language of Bharatanatyam - an Indian classical dance where every gesture, gaze and breath has meaning. From the delicate trace of hasta abhinaya, the alphabet of symbolic hand gestures, we move through the precision of isolated movement, the living pulse of tala, and arrive at the expressive universe of bhava, where the body becomes a vehicle for emotions. An experience of awareness, technique and presence, in which the dancer/performer is invited to inhabit time, sound and feeling in every movement. Ideal for dancers and actors of various styles, especially in the field of Indian Classical Dance. Open to practitioners of all levels, curious and passionate about the wisdom and culture of India. 10 October Session 1 - Hasta abhinaya: the alphabet of gesture In this session we will talk about the symbolism of hand gestures and the messages they communicate. Participants will learn the gestures (hasta abhinaya) and their multiple applications (viniyogas). They will also learn to recite the names of the gestures, as well as their use in creating dialogues and in a small dance piece. 17 October Session 2 - Isolated Movement: Awareness, Technique and Expression A session dedicated to the study of isolated body movements: eye movements (drishti bheda), head (shiro bheda), neck (griva bheda), feet (pada bheda), among others. Ideal for dancers and actors, activating body awareness and expressiveness, precision and subtlety, which are the foundation of Indian classical dances and can be applied in different contexts. 24 October Session 3 Tala: The Time that Sustains the Dance In this session, we will dive into the universe of tala, the rhythmic system that structures and gives life to Bharatanatyam. Through body exercises, rhythmic counts and small sequences of adavus (steps), we will explore how time manifests in the body, sustaining movement and expression. The dancer's feet become percussion instruments, while the rest of the body expresses itself fluidly. 31 October Session 4 'Bhava: exploring the emotions' A session dedicated to the study of emotional expression in Bharatanatyam. Based on the nine fundamental emotions (navarasa) described in Indian performing arts treatises and the expressive language (abhinaya), we will work with emotions as paths towards an authentic and sensitive stage presence. Eeshani Lasya Eeshani Lasya is the founder of the UPAYANA Project (2025), an educational project dedicated to promoting Indian culture. With training in Painting, Architecture, Music and Dance, she has been a practitioner of Yoga and Meditation for about three decades, during which time she began the study of Vedic Literature.

Do traço delicado do hasta abhinaya , o alfabeto dos gestos simbólicos com as mãos, passamos pela precisão do movimento isolado, pela pulsação viva do tala , e chegamos ao universo expressivo do bhava , onde o corpo se torna veículo das emoções. Uma experiência de consciência, técnica e presença, em que o bailarino/performer é convidado a habitar o tempo, o som e o sentimento em cada movimento. Ideal para bailarinos e atores de vários estilos, em especial na área da Dança Clássica Indiana. Aberto a praticantes de todos os níveis, curiosos e apaixonados pela sabedoria e cultura da Índia. 10 Outubro Sessão 1 - Hasta abhinaya : o alfabeto do gesto Nesta sessão falaremos sobre a simbologia dos gestos com as mãos e que mensagens comunicam. Os participantes aprenderão os gestos ( hasta abhinaya ) e suas múltiplias aplicações ( viniyogas ). Aprenderão ainda a recitar os nomes dos gestos, assim como a sua utilização na criação de diálogos e numa pequena peça de dança. 17 Outubro Sessão 2 - Movimento Isolado: Consciência, Técnica e Expressão Uma sessão dedicada ao estudo dos movimentos isolados do corpo: movimentos de olhos ( drishti bheda ), cabeça ( shiro bheda ), pescoço ( griva bheda ), pés ( pada bheda ), entre outros. Ideal para bailarinos e atores, ativando a consciência corporal e expressividade, precisão e subtileza, que são a base das danças clássicas indianas e que podem ser aplicados em diferentes contextos. 24 Outubro Sessão 3 Tala: O Tempo que Sustenta a Dança Nesta sessão, mergulharemos no universo da tala , o sistema rítmico que estrutura e dá vida ao Bharatanatyam . Através de exercícios corporais, contagens rítmicas e pequenas sequências de adavus (passos), exploraremos como o tempo se manifesta no corpo, sustentando o movimento e a expressão. Os pés do bailarino tornam-se instrumentos de percussão, enquanto o resto do corpo se expressa de forma fluida. 31 Outubro Sessão 4 ‘Bhava: explorando as emoções ’ Uma sessão dedicada ao estudo da expressão emocional no Bharatanatyam . A partir das nove emoções fundamentais ( navarasa ) descritas nos tratados de artes performativas indianas e da linguagem expressiva ( abhinaya ), trabalharemos as emoções como caminhos para uma presença cénica autêntica e sensível.
