Mudra Dance Company Presents
Darpana: Reflections
An exuberant programme of classical Indian dance
Choreographed and produced by Vivek Kinra, and performed by the Mudra Dance Company.
Darpana will be a memorable performance of a retrospective collection of dance works spanning over 25 years, choreographed by internationally renowned Wellington-based director and choreographer Vivek Kinra.
Kinra will blend the history of Mudra through the reworking of his earlier pieces, ensuring that the current audience can experience the change over time whilst honouring the beginnings of the Mudra Dance Company. The audience will have the opportunity to revisit their favourite pieces while experiencing some works for the first time.
Dance writer and critic Jennifer Shennan comments on this new work as follows:
“Mudra's performance season for July 2023, Darpana - Reflections, is an impressive undertaking –
to offer a programme of retrospective reference across so many of Vivek Kinra's choreographies over past years. That all these works can be reconstructed and staged again is testament to the serious and responsible commitment of Mudra to offer continuing and lasting contribution to Wellington audiences comprising the Indian as well as the wider community”.
The dances have been selected to highlight specific periods and outstanding pieces, which over time show the evolution of Kinra and The Mudra Dance Company
Mudra Dance Company will once again excite audiences with fast-moving dramatic dance pieces that will showcase the incredible talent of this highly regarded dance company. Characterised by exotic beauty and charm, Mudra Dance Company is a visual feast of brilliant sari colours, traditional headdresses of braids and flowers, and the sparkle of gorgeous jewellery. Darpana promises to be a powerful display of motion, colour, music, mime, and rhythm.
Kinra is acclaimed both nationally and internationally as an exemplary exponent of Bharata Natyam. The dances of Darpana highlight Kinra’s choreography which combines innovative and traditional elements of this classical dance form.
