Workshop Introduction to Odissi Dance & Music

Introductory Odissi dance & music workshop in Hazelbrook These are tough times and we want to help by offering a more affordable introduction to Odissi dance and/or music, arts practices that can really enhance your wellbeing and build community. Two of our most recent learners in the Blue Mountains had this to say: 'Nirmal shares an unwavering presence and engagement in his approach to teaching, and connection with his students. The time shared and the space created for exploration of self is truly unique.' Lisa (Dance) 'As someone with a deep appreciation for Indian culture and philosophy, it has been such a gift to learn under Nirmal Ji. Having taken Hindustani classical vocal classes before, I have never experienced the depth of understanding Nirmal brings to his classes. There is the beauty of the art form, the ragas and learning harmonium and tanpura/swaramandal, but more so, the philosophy and the depth of this practice is shared. It's more than a 'music lesson', it's a time to make space for contemplating the deeper things of life.' Naomi (Music).
