Event Description

October 10, 2011 Updated Oct 8, 2012 at 11:06 AM EDT

All India Movement for Seva and the IPFW College of Visual and Performing Arts present…
Nayani…Story of a Tribal Girl
A Dance Expression by Rukmini Vijayakumar

Admission is free for everyone

Rukmini Vijayakumar and a troupe of dance professionals from India will present the story of Nayani, a tribal Indian girl who had been abandoned in the forest. Found in the forest by a tribal chief who took her home to raise as his own, Nayani intuitively begins to understand and share the story of an ancient Indian myth: Shiva who took the form of a powerful archer and destroyed the floating kingdom of Tripurasura with one arrow of his bow.

The evening is a cultural tapestry of spirited Indian music, fluidly choreographed dance and mythological storytelling, enhanced with beautiful costumes and energized lighting effects. Ms. Vijaykumar is an accomplished dance artist with a degree in ballet from Boston Conservatory.
