About Abhivyakthi, Center for Art and Culture

Indian in Technique and Universal in Context

Abhivyakthi is founded by Suhasini

Koulagi with a strong idea of expressing for the betterment of oneself and the people combined. On which the whole Bharatanātya was built on and evolved over time.

Abhivyakthi - Expresses oneself

Every time dancers dance on stage or at a practice room or even free-styling, they do it by having music in the background and playing an act of emotions that they are expressing every time their bodies flow with the rhythm. Dance is a form of social interaction and the dancer becomes the object that expresses and transmits feelings, ideas, and experiences.

Motto - Bharatanātya for Commons

We believe in Bharatanātya to be a part of everyone's life either as teaching, learning, or performing to represent social needs. To break the stereotypical idea of Bharatanātya as religious and spiritual art being practiced only by the upper-class people from the society, and to show that Bharatanātya is reachable to each and every one.

How do we see Bharatanātya ? Bharatanātya is a form of social interaction and the dancer becomes the object that expresses and transmits feelings, ideas, and experiences.

Art can stick in people's minds and hearts and can enter and affect situations and attitudes that nothing else can. Although Bharatanātya is a social fact, it is derived from species-specific capacities, and that it is, therefore, part of the human constitution and a basic force in social life, and not merely the consequence of human invention at some particular time and place. Its evolutionary importance as a mode of communication is borne out by the fact that it has not been superseded by verbal language, although clearly verbal language is generally more efficient for cultural adaptation. The universality and survival of "dance" suggest that it cannot be abandoned without danger to the human species; that it must be practiced by all; and that its evolutionary value lies in its effectiveness as a mode of none-verbal communication.

Dance Activism for Sustainability

Dance has been used and is being used as a way of asking questions to the public and to society and as a way of embracing differences and changes in people cultures and governments, as well as including the public as part of these issues, That is the reason why dance has been used from the people as a tool for social activism both in the past and today. The art of dance has been described as the "vehicle for building community and understanding across social boundaries" since it can be "the antithesis of the values of modern-day capitalism". claimed that anyone practicing structure dance can have their mental processes being speed up and that is obvious either by solving convergence problems or by coming up with creating acts in finding a solution in diverging problems that can be verbal, physical, musical, or mental" Dance has been used and is being used as a way of asking questions to the public and to society and as a way of embracing differences and changes in people cultures and governments, as well as including the public as part of these issues, That is the reason why dance has been used from the people as a tool for social activism both in the past and today.
