Learn with Karuna Sagari

'Jagannathashtakam'

One of Karuna's Masterpieces

In this workshop with Karuna Sagari, you will learn Jagannathashtakam - an abhinaya piece that celebrates the bhakta’s journey to bring the cosmic Lord close, as friend, lover, and companion in dance.

 

This is one of Karuna’s most cherished works. She has spent the last 14 years shaping and deepening this piece. This workshop offers a rare opportunity to study, in depth, this deeply personal and iconic part of her repertoire.
