Opinion Exchange
Anita Ratnam says, "In almost every intersection of cultures, there are worlds within worlds. In every art form there is a dialogue, some said and others mostly unsaid. In all my work the attempt is to create encounters and moments of intersection. Dance engages us in all its composite cultural forms. I have been particularly fascinated by the unique Japanese style of Butoh dance which goes so much against the ideas of speed and movement in Indian dance . I look forward to deepening my experience with this exchange. This will be an innovative encounter of the moving body from two rich and diverse perspectives."
