Mallika Sarabhai is
one of the most renowned Kuchipudi and
Bharatanatyam dancers in India today. She is a
performer and creator of many talents and her
career has developed from being a young,
internationally acclaimed, classical dancer and
film personality, to being an activist and
commentator on social issues.
At the root of Mallika’s performance is her
expertise and deep knowledge of two forms of
Indian classical dance, Bharatanatyam and
Kuchipudi from Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh
respectively. As a young woman she won
international awards for her classical dance, and
she is still learning items from her gurus, some
of which she alone in the world can perform.
Even
in these forms she has rejected items which she
feels stem from overtly patriarchal periods and
which represent women as subservient, and has put
together pieces celebrating the strength of the
goddesses of the Hindu pantheon. This
is still the main element of her performance life,
whether at
international festivals or local cultural events,
and the warmth and life with which she imbues
these forms keeps her much in demand.
