Rukmini Devi Arundale

Rukmini Devi Arundale, born on February 29, 1904, in Madurai, Tamil Nadu, served as a catalyst in revitalising the traditional Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam and establishing its prominence. Born into a Brahmin family with deep connections to the Theosophical Society, Rukmini was exposed to humanist ideals from an early age. Her marriage to George Arundale, a theosophist and educator, further fuelled her interest in theosophy and dance. While travelling with her husband and Annie Besant, Rukmini learned of Western ballet and began studying ballet at the suggestion of the famous ballerina Anna Pavlova. Pavlova also encouraged her to explore classical Indian dance forms, which allowed Rukmini to pursue Bharatanatyam To challenge the norms and re-establish the artistic integrity of the dance, Rukmini undertook formal education at the Bharatnatyam master Pandanalur Meenakshi Sundaram Pillai. In 1935, at the age of 31, Rukmini made her debut in Bharatanatyam, defying societal expectations and setting a precedent for upper-class women to participate in the dance form. Witnessing the transformative power of Bharatanatyam, she established the International Academy of the Arts in Adyar in 1936, later renamed Kalakshetra. Through Kalakshetra, Rukmini aimed to teach and popularise Bharatanatyam through this institution, saying that she felt she had been "ushered into a new world of rhythmic beauty and meaning." Rukmini Devi Arundale's contributions extended beyond dance. In 1934, she founded educational institutions that blended theosophy and traditional Hindu values. Her vision for Kalakshetra went beyond preserving Bharatanatyam; it became a hub for various Indian traditions and the propagation of theosophical ideals. Her efforts earned her accolades, including the Padma Bhushan in 1956 and the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1967. As an animal lover, she chaired the Animal Welfare Board and played a key role in passing the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act in 1952. In the same year, she made history as the first ever woman in Indian history to be nominated as the Rajya Sabha member In 1977, she declined the offer to become the President of India from Prime Minister Morarji Desai post the death of President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed. In a 2013 speech at Kalakshetra, President Pranab Mukherjee delivered the first Rukmini Devi Memorial Lecture, emphasising on the significance she has had on the revival of classical dance and her commitment to the cultural renaissance of India.

dance classes are so wholesome.

disheveled dance sarees, bindis skittered away from the centre of the forehead, heaving breaths after having completed a jati, that first gulp of water after class feeling like amrit, the sense of satisfaction after executing an item you learnt in class flawlessly

Had odissi class in the morning and did I finally complete learning Desh pallavi? YES

Desh pallavi is based on Desh raga and pallavi is a pure nritta item which means there is no abhinaya i.e acting/drama involved. It looks pleasing to the eyes and for dancers it appears easy to perform but pallavi itself has its own challenge to follow the sargam as well as the bol according to which the steps go.

In the evening had my dance exam whose results I will get to have next year or maybe this year if I get the chance to visit my dance teacher's eyes because she has the marksheets of three dance exams.

Looking forward to executing pallavi in tomorrow's class without forgetting the step in the middle

You know what? Fuck you (south indianifies your pavitr prabhakar)

My man Will be doing traditional dances (bharatanatyam, among others) when in combat because it makes him look cool.

(okay listen. If I could I would /VERY MUCH/ turn these into stickers for laptops and stuff I think that'd be kinda cool.)

One firecracker of a jathi in the varnam 'Mogamāginen' in the ragam Kharaharapriya. Really enjoyed dancing to this! The sound of our footsteps is sooo satisfying (⁠~⁠‾⁠▿⁠‾⁠)⁠~
