Experience the beauty of Mohiniattam—the classical dance tradition from Kerala, in southern India. International performer and teacher Chandreyee Basu Thakur brings two to three captivating performances, each about 25 minutes, blending tradition, emotion, and movement into stories told through graceful sways, flowing torsos, and delicate handwork.
This centuries-old art form is known for its soft, circular movements, intricate footwork, and expressive storytelling, offering a mesmerizing glimpse into Kerala’s cultural heritage.
Also featured:
• Photo Showcase – Striking images of Mohiniattam from Kerala capturing the dance’s elegance in its native setting.
• Interactive Teaching Moment – Learn how dancers use movement to convey story, emotion, and nature.
Bring a blanket, lawn chair, or picnic and enjoy this free celebration of art and culture, set against the peaceful backdrop of the river at sunset.
