Vivaldi - Four Seasons
Art has no boundaries as it is revealed in the combination of western classical music and eastern traditional dance. Choreographed and danced in Classical Indian Hindu Temple Dance Odissi style. With elegant mudras (hand gestures) and sculpturesque poses reminiscent of the sculptures on the temple walls, the dance flows along to Vivaldi's music depicting the 4 seasons in a unique interpretation. The dance evolves from the joyful flowing movements of spring to the dynamic intensity of summer, to the rhythmic motions of autumn and finally to the quiet serenity of winter. First dressed in colourful silk sarees and ending adorned only in beautiful jewelry, one can imagine a sculpture come alive from the ancient temple walls. The journey through the 4 seasons is joy to behold.

Born in 1957 in Kyoto, Japan to an Indian father and a Japanese mother who was the first Japanese woman to introduce Indian dance into Japan. SHAKTI grew up with the rich cultural heritage of Japan and India. She studied yoga with her father and dance with her mother and with the foremost gurus of India.
While earning an M.A. in Indian Philosophy at Columbia University in New York City, SHAKTI studied modern dance with Martha Graham.
Upon returning to Japan, SHAKTI developed a unique hybrid form of dance blending an array of eastern dance traditions with yoga and butoh elements. Her unique and mesmerising performances have touched and captured audiences everywhere.
Her career has taken her from major venues such as Lincoln Centre to the Buddhist temples in Japan.
