Dance & Lecture: Kuchipudi Dance Recital and Lecture

Ekam Ardhanarishwaram is a research based Kuchipudi performance conceptualized and choreographed by Dr. Priyanka Bharde as part of her doctoral work. Centered on the Ardhanarishwara principle, the unified form of Shiva and Shakti, the work examines non duality, cosmic balance and the complementarity of masculine and feminine energies.

Presented as a lecture demonstration, the program combines performance with scholarly explanation, integrating art, science and spirituality within the framework of Indian Knowledge Systems. The production has been performed fourteen times over the past two years across India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Russia and Thailand, receiving wide recognition.
