Patanjali: Legends of Yoga and Dance

Rangoli Dance Company along with guest artists from India presents
Patanjali: Legends of Yoga and Dance

Main Stage, Santa Monica College - 1900 Pico Blvd. Santa Monica, CA 90405

Unwritten Rhythms: 7:30 pm
Patanjali Dance Concert: 8:00 pm.

Patanjali, a thematic dance concert, explores the unique and powerful relationship between Yoga and dance. The evening features popular legends related to Patanjali, the cosmic dance of Shiva, and the holy city of Chidambaram in India. Conceived and choreographed by award-winning artistic director Malathi Iyengar, and developed in collaboration with her dancers and music composer Rajkumar Bharathi, Patanjali will feature a unique physical environment as designed by Eileen Cooley, Lakshmi Iyengar and Suresh Iyengar.
The impetus to restage Patanjali (premiere 2007) is rooted in the work Iyengar did over the past three years in India and United States. Her observation of Yoga’s abundant use and symmetry in movement, leads to a balance that one seeks in both art and in life. The evening also features 'Unwritten Rhythms', played by musicians from India as a prelude to the dance concert.
