🪔 About
I am Anjali Umamaheswaran, a classical dancer, choreographer, educator and researcher based in Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu. I have over 20 years of experience in Bharatanatyam and a deep passion for Indian classical performing arts. I hold a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Bharatanatyam, with distinction and a Gold Medal, along with a Diploma in Music from Bharathiar University. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Performing Arts, specialising in Bharatanatyam, at Kalaikaviri College of Fine Arts, Tiruchirappalli. My artistic practice encompasses Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak, Mohiniyattam and Indian Folk Dance. I work as a performer, choreographer and teacher, providing training in Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak and Mohiniyattam. I am the Founder and Artistic Director of Sri Vedic Temple of Fine Arts, Tiruchirappalli, where I work towards nurturing young artists and promoting Indian classical dance and fine arts. My research interests focus on the interdisciplinary relationship between Bharatanatyam, human physiology and immunity. Through performance, teaching and research, I aspire to contribute to the preservation, development and wider recognition of Indian classical performing arts.
