Vastly
gifted with an attractive demeanour suitable for
this form of dancing, Sunanda indeed casts a
spell on her onlookers while performing. She
exudes vitality, warmth and endows her dance with
an added dimension, and she enchants the
initiated and the uninitiated alike. It is her
ability to infuse beauty in whatever she creates
and give joyousness to her movements and
expressions that set her apart from other
practitioners. The movements are full of life and
endowed with sensitive lyricism. Sunanda is the
disciple of the noted Mohini Attam exponent
Padmashree Dr.(Smt)Kanak Rele, who is renowned
for her contribution to the revival and
popularisation of this classical dance style.
She has the proud privilege of being the first
student to earn a Master's degree in Mohini Attam
from Nalanda Nritya Kala Mahavidyalay affiliated
to the University of Mumbai. Sunanda has prepared
for her vocation both as a professional dancer
and a teacher of dance, through rich and
multifaceted experiences in higher academics,
stage performances, classroom instruction and
choreography |
