About this event
Varnam Salon Deutschland (VSD) is a series of performances by Germany-based senior art practitioners, mid-career artists, and upcoming dancers.
Varnam is often the “main” piece in a solo Bharatanatyam performance. Our aim is to create an opportunity for young artists to explore his or her connection to the timeless art.
Why Varnam or Swarajathi ?
Varnam or Swarajathi is a long, endurance piece that requires the depth of understanding of the chosen narrative and of the dancing body. we want to encourage dancers to spend months creating and perfecting a piece and to perform it in an intimate performance space
Why Varnam Salon DE ?
To bring the bharatanatyam recitals closer to the hearts of audience
To inspire young dancers, by providing a platform to explore this repertoire
We work to sow, nourish and sustain a hub for Indian classical dance in Germany
We now take it to the next level! Make VSD a traveling dance event. Our next one is in Berlin on May 06, 2023.
