- This piece is dedicated to my Mother Nirmala Raja on her birthday Feb 2nd for being a phenomenal woman !
Creative Director and Kuchipudi Danseuse Sandhya Raju attempts to use the language of Kuchipudi Dance , (an ancient South Indian Classical dance style) to express the voices and thoughts relevant to modern world.
American civil right's activist and poet Maya Angelou's 'Phenomenal Woman' was the poem of choice for this beautiful experimental piece of art.
This production gives the audience a time travellers warp like experience. Imagine Taking ancient Indian dance language created in the first Century and using that to express powerful english words written by an American Civil rights activist of the 20th century !
Sandhya feels the true power and potential of the ancient form of Kuchipudi is unleashed when it is welcomed as a relevant medium to express modern even futuristic thoughts prose and poetry. breaking barriers of Language.
After all to Dance is to tell a story ! To Dance is to stir revolution ! To Dance is to create change ! to Dance is to be understood !
Sandhya worked extensively with dear friends Manognya Balraj and Aayana Dance Company to come up with a unique choreography to justify her vision. She was ably aided by dear friend and Art Director Manisha Satvolu to subtly enhance Taramati Baradari. An ancient Hyderabadi Monument where Hindu queens used to dance Kuchipudi for the Muslim rulers in the 16th century.
Sandhya's screenplay and frames was also supported by talented and wonderful Director of photography Vamsi Patchipulusu. The talented genius Anil Srinivasan has provided gentle and mood enhancing music.
All the dancers in the video - Creative Director Sandhya Raju Choreographer Manognya Balraj , beautiful peacock Pallavi Manjunath, Adorable gentle Vishal, boisterous handsome Manish, Ravishing tigress Raksha, Sincere Gangadhar, sweet Lakshmi and classy Venella are extraordinary human beings and brilliant artists in their own right. It is only love,respect and positivity that brought all these artists together to create this little unique gem of a piece.
this piece was shot across Taramathi in a single call sheet from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM thanks to everyones teamwork and extensive preplanning.

Speechless. Feel so emotional and touched. This is what we want at this moment. Adapting tradition to modern life, to continue and take forward Kuchipudi. I used to dance kuchipudi and it is love of my life. I used to feel sad about the art being on the hospital bed. But after watching this video, I feel happy and optimistic that there is still a chance. Great going Sandya Garu. Appreciate your efforts.
This is so beautiful. Loved everything about this dance presentation. Right from the choice of poetry to costume to choreography to the Voice Over. Everything! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Excellent madam, Smt. Sandhya Raju garu, You came with this beautiful video when many people like me are worried about downfall of Indian women and Hindu culture especially after popularity of "OO antava" song. You are really incredible and phenomenal.

I loved this amazing performance. I always wanted to do something similar. Being a middle class, i could not grow in my dancing career. But I did acheive and made the difference. I am a kuchipudi dancer too. But I also work at school. I am 48 and managing performing even now. I do teach kids. I really wanted to do something thing the same. Sandhya garu, i would like to join your troop. If you give me a chance, i will be really lucky. I stay in Hyd. I am crazy of dance.🙏
Bless you. You are lucky to be able to pursue it. Admire your grit and determination for keeping it you and continuing your dance despite pressures and barriers. I gave it up for another career and regret to this day. You must approach Sandhya Raju. She is so creative and modern and traditional at the same time.
