#OurVarnam is a creative project gathering the Varnams of dancers across the UK into a curated online gallery. It aims to connect dancers of all forms but especially Bharatanatyam with each other and a wider audience. 

The inspiration for this project is Divya Kasturi Company’s latest work, To Varnam…With Love, a story of love, devotion and commitment; to a god, to a myth, to a way of moving and being.

​

Why are we doing this project?

• To celebrate the Varnam as a unique expression of each dancer to their craft

• To create a legacy for the performance in an online archive of Varnams

• To create an authentic online project at a time of limited live experience

• Connect new audiences to Bharatanatyam

• To connect with new partners and dancers

​

#OurVarnam will be a beautiful, heart-warming gallery of youthful talent and will encourage wider audiences to connect with our To Varnam…With Love performance.

​

We are inviting participants to make their own Varnam solos.

We want to nudge you all to take ownership of the Varnam thereby also trigger your thinking further into how/what is the inspiration ...

We would love for you to be a part of DKC's flagship new project #OurVarnam
