Artist: Spilling Ink Project

The Spilling Ink Project weaves memorable tales from Indian folklore and mythology that unfold through the rich, traditional Bharatanatyam South Indian classical dance form. An intricate hand gesture language combined with dramatic facial expressions takes audiences on a colorful journey to India. Melodic music including rhythmic percussion, colorful costuming, along with storytelling in English embellishes the program. Katha: Tales from India is an engaging and interactive way for participants of all ages to learn about India and its culture. Students will examine traditional stories from Indian folklore and mythology using the universal concept of storytelling through music and dance. Vijay Palaparty and Nalini Prakash, who lead the duet program, are renowned artists whose performances and outreach programs tour widely.
