Anubhava, a dance theater addresses human experiences and perceptions by depicting & exploring the possibilities of human sentiments that are universal to everyone one. Anubhava is created keeping ‘Navarasa’ as the foundation for its interpretation. ‘Navarasa’’ refers to the basic nine sentiments as portrayed by the performing arts treatises in India. The nine sentiments being Shanta, Wonder, Mirth, Love, Fear, Courage, Anger, Pathos and Disgust.
Having envisioned a concept such as Anubhava to be portrayed by dancers from diverse cultures & developing the theme for body language and movement was a challenge.
