Rich Heritage of India - Anne Dietrich |
"Mohiniyattam" is a traditional and elegant dance from Kerala, South India. This former temple dance developed into a complex and expressive form of movement. With the help of facial expressions and acting, complex rhythmic footwork and subtle gestural movements of the fingers and hands, known as 'Mudras', stories of Indian mythology are conveyed.
This rare style can now be enjoyed and learned in Your city (Germany, Switzerland) through the platforms of dance performances, workshops, lecture demonstrations and interaction sessions.

The suedraum.company is an ensemble of contemporary dancers of the independent scene in Leipzig. It is under the artistic direction of Anne Dietrich. Poonam Panchwagh was invited as guest choreographer. SPIRIT is an Indo-German dance piece, which deals with the classical Indian dance styles ‘Mohiniyattam’ and ‘Kathak’ and ‘Contemporary dance’ depicting the essence of "Spirituality" through the Indian as well as the Western point of view with the common threads as well as the contrasts in the three languages of dance. It was a dialogue on the meaning of spirituality for different individuals, ending on the common grounds of self discovering.
