Navarasa the awakening

Navarasa pursues an idea- that emotions are empowering and that voluntarily manifesting them can crack the masks that we are often forced to don. This experimental dance/theatre film is inspired by the concept of the Navarasas or the nine emotions from the ancient Sanskrit treatise on the performing arts called the Natyashastra. The film is an exploration of the power of dance and the rasas to bring forth a heightened awareness of a woman's unique individuality.
