Susanna uses her South Indian dance training to capture the imagination of children who are learning about the topic of India. |
|
Susanna offers an authentic experience of rural life in South India through the eyes of a dancer. She incorporates elements of storytelling, mime, colour, exquisite costume, traditional music and dancing bells which together add a spiritual dimension to the presentation of stories. Both Assemblies and Workshops are in accord with the National Curriculum key stages 1, 2 & 3. |
|
Susanna graduated in Bharata Natyam, a classical dance from Southern India, in 1996. She trained in both India and England and has been teaching and performing throughout the UK. |
|
