Description: 'Nayika' draws inspiration from the ashtanayikas, a collective name for eight types of heroines as classified in the Natya Shastra, a Sanskrit treatise on the performing arts. It attempts to re-position and re-imagine these heroines outside of classical vocabulary, with the dancer recognizing her own self in their expressions of love, waiting, longing and desire. nnConcept / Choreography / Performance: Mehneer SudannSound Design: Samar Grewal nText: High Noon and the Body, Poems by Kyla Pasha, p
