'Kannan en Sevakan'
An Abhinaya Piece
In this workshop with Karuna Sagari you will learn Kannan en Sevakan - An online Bharatanatyam–Abhinaya workshop inspired by Subrahmanya Bharati’s moving composition. In this piece, the divine is seen as an errand boy who not only enables the poet’s life but also enriches it. It traces the emotional journey of a sensitive mind moving from the struggles of daily chores to a profound feeling of gratitude.
“As an artist, I have often related to this piece as a constant reminder of the several Kannans in my life who have helped me pursue my creative journey while making sure that my food is warm on the table.” – Karuna Sagari
