Anandha Ray: Fusing Modern Dance & Tribal Bellydance



Synthesizing the forms means so much more than just doing some bellydance and some modern interlaced. Ethnic dance is generally either social or folk forms of dance. Modern dance is an artistic form of dance. The differing forms have differing goals and reasons for existing, and so often they have little common ground. In my artistic vision I develop movement from the core source of body language, pushing the emotional expression of movement to it's most profound and touching moments. I enjoy artistic dance that speaks of human emotion and evokes the viewer to think, or feel, or understand something in a different way. To synthesize ethnic forms within this context requires that I analyze the ethnic movements and their expressive potential, and thus the dance that is derived has a pre-determined theme (based on the expression of the chosen ethnic movement). 
This is a very interesting process...
