This Is How I Feel Today // West Wave Dance Festival // San Francisco, CA
September 15th, 2016
Performing in San Francisco's West Wave Dance Festival for the first time, Anjal debuted This Is How I Feel Today, a contemporary bharatanatyam dance-theater piece that acknowledges, reflects on, and viscerally feels the nuances of each day. What does it mean to observe our own thoughts and emotions? What happens when we mask them or when we express them? When we embrace our feelings, can we be enlivened by them? In This Is How I Feel Today, Anjal explores these questions through a mosaic of introspective text, eclectic music, and expressive articulations of the body. Click here for photos and video.
