Poetry in Motion

A note from the organisers at SIFAS

Hi All,

As you must be aware, we are organising a unique show on August 10- a film screening on Alarmél Valli followed by a solo recital by the artiste herself accompanied by a live orchestra. The film examines how a dancer can be a writer, poet, painter, sculptor, actor and singer even as she dances. In some ways, Lasya Kavya is also a film about the pathway to greatness. Alarmél Valli’s story is an illustration of the fact that greatness comes only to those who relentlessly polish the gift of an inborn talent. It will be an inspiring film for our dance students- the film is a lyrical journey wherein she tries to share her joy of dancing with the viewers. And watching her dance will be inspiring too- a Padma Bhushan awardee, Valli has been performing for over four decades and is an effervescent dancer who brings out the joy of this art form.

We bring these programs to Singapore so that audiences in Singapore can also share in the latest happenings in the world of Fine Arts. While SIFAS is predominantly a teaching institution, these programs serve as part of the learning process for each and every student- watching great masters perform can inspire students to work harder to hone their craft. I would request your support in disseminating information about this show to members of the SIFAS family and also urge you all to buy tickets for the show-


Regards,

Renuka
