About
--VOGUE, Paris
Treasured in both India and Europe, Shantala Shivalingappa is an acclaimed dancer and choreographer of kuchipudi, a 2,000-year-old classical style based on the Natya Shastra, an ancient codification of dance, music, and theater. Born in India and raised in Paris, Shivalingappa has had the privilege of working with some of the greatest artists of our time, including Maurice Béjart, Peter Brook, Bartabas, and Pina Bausch. She brings her background in kuchipudi and the skills she has learned from these masters to Swayambhu, a program of contrasts, at the same time swift and suspended, earthly and ethereal, symmetrical and asymmetrical.
