Join us for a performance by Rangoli Dance Company. At Brand, the company will perform, Vahanas: God’s Own Vehicles, inspired by the Vahanas or the animal vehicles in the Hindu Pantheon.
Malathi Iyengar established Rangoli Dance Company in 1992 to share the performing and visual arts of India. The company features the vibrant South Indian dance form ‘Bharatanatyam’ through strong technique and storytelling. Bharatanatyam is a classical Indian dance form that originated in the temples of South India. Drawing from the myth and spirituality of South Indian heritage, Iyengar creates dance landscapes that dwell in both traditional and secular, and rhythm and stillness. The dances convey a sense of reverence and mystery, they and are offered in the spirit of universal celebration. At Brand, the company will perform Vahanas: God’s Own Vehicles. Inspired by the Vahanas or the animal vehicles in the Hindu Pantheon, Iyengar creates dances that portray these mythological figures through symbols and storytelling.
This series, curated by acclaimed choreographer, teacher and producer Jamie Nichols, presents top dance companies from Southern California performing site-specific work in non-traditional performance spaces around Brand Library.
The Dance Series performances are sponsored by the Brand Associates.
