In this episode of JIM ON THE AIR, I had the chance to talk with Yamini Kalluri. Yamini will be featured in the RE: EMERGE DANCE FESTIVAL June 17 through the 20th at Center Stage Theater in Santa Barbara, CA. Yamini Kalluri is a world-class professional Kuchipudi dancer based in New York City where she teaches, performs, and trains full time. She offers performances, workshops, intensives, and production direction internationally with an aim to bring a new face and a bigger representation to Kuchipudi globally. Raised in Hyderabad, India, Yamini Kalluri has been celebrated by the New York Times and BBC as being a Kuchipudi sensation. Yamini has founded Kritya Dance with the mission to empower up and coming artists to take Kuchipudi to global platforms. Yamini envisions a new school of thought for Kuchipudi with more awareness of the body, mind and soul. She is taking several nuances from ballet and modern dance to find her own technique and bring about a new age of Kuchipudi which is more relevant to a newer and global generation. Yamini sees Kritya as a budding conservatory and incubatory for challenging experimentation and also as a means for dancers to immerse themselves to find their truest form of expression.
