Contemporary dancer Sayli Kulkarni Joshi on the power of the body and empathy
Sayli Kulkarni Joshi was one the oldest students at Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts in Bengaluru in 2016. “I was 28. Some of my classmates were 18. They could raise their legs 180 degrees, straight above their heads. I could barely manage 90 degrees,” she says. In that challenging moment, the contemporary dancer realised, “No two bodies are alike. Mine may not be the most flexible but didn’t it have a really powerful stage presence?” she adds. Now a professional dancer, Joshi is heading a workshop, titled “Body Matters”, which will feature a combination of physical fitness and body awareness exercises as a means to explore the ideas of space, weight and fluidity. It will be held at TIFA Working Studios on May 19.
