ACHARYAA PRATISHTHA AS A CHOREOGRAPHER







Acharyaa Pratishtha has choreographed many compositions for different organizations under the banner of Mokshayatan International Yogashram’s cultural wing – Mokshayatan Dance Foundation

STRENGTH, STAMINA AND SPEED… Knowing ourselves… we’ve all in us…Strength, Stamina and Speed all what we need is to realize it. And to realize, to know, to discover what we have within us we need to go inside… inside us… we need to visit our inner place.

SHIVEN SEH NARTANAM… Dancing With Shiva…

SACRIFICE… a patriotic Kathak Presentation based on martyrs of the Nation. As kathak means Katha Kahe so Kathak kehlaye… repetitions of the unknown katha is not at all important… I believe the Yug ke devata are the martyrs of India and sacrifice is their katha as dance is not at all a mere source of entertainment… its something more… mush more than just entertainment.

TOGETHERNESS… A fusion of dance and Yoga as the both forms are deeply connected to each other and are absolutely incomplete without each other as dance is not only concerned with body… many times the inner self dances. Yog is not a mere set of physical exercises… yog is what takes an individual soul to the universal and dance is what takes the individual soul to the universal.

MOODS… the Expression of feelings … There are different languages at different ares of the world with different use of words but still there is one language which is far away from words and speech which can be discovered only in the silence and that is the language of expression. Choreography is based on different emotions of life…romance, enjoyment, fear, valor, laughter, peace etc without words.




DANCE TO TRANCE … When the man was happy for the first time he danced. Many people say they don’t dance… I absolutely disagree with this statement as I truly believe that each and every soul dances sometimes physically and sometimes mentally. Dance is the ultimate journey which takes the dancer to the state of trance.

KRISHNA the Perfection… Lord Krishna is the symbol of perfection in our culture. Child? Like kanha, Adolescent? Like Kanha, Beloved? Like Kanha, Politician? Like Kanha, Warrior? Like kanha, Guru? Like kanha who gave the most famous lesion of yog – GEETA to the entire humanity.

SAMVAAD the dialogue… This choreography is all about the dialogue… the dialogue between the dancers… the dialogue between the dancer and the musicians… the dialogue between the music and the dance… the dialogue between the rhythm and the ghunghroos… the dialogue between the body and the mind and above all the dialogue between the individual soul and the universal soul.

AANANDA the real bliss… Aanand is the real quest of every soul. We all are striving for aanand but… where to find it???? I’m doing everything for Aanand but am I going to the right path? If yes then why I’ve not found it yet? Is Aanand a thing which I can hold? Is Aanand a place where I can reach? What is aanand and what is the right path to attain it?

MOKSHA the final destination



SITA...
