Bharatanatyam on Christian themes with Shrimathi Susanna

Shrimathi Susanna - dancer, teacher and cultural artist has taught and performed extensively throughout the UK and Southern India, expressing Christian rather than the traditional Hindu themes normally associated with the style.

Bharatanatyam dance has its origins in the devotional life of female dancers (devadasis) in the Hindu temples of Southern India. Today Bharatanatyam is a highly prized art form inspiring and moving audiences around the world with its energy, fluid movements and powerful expression.

Susanna graduated in Bharatanatyam, in 1996, after several years of training in the UK with Shrimathi Pathmini Gunaseelan of Narthana Kalalaya (London).

She won a scholarship in 1997 to study Bharatanatyam in India on Christian themes, at The Christu Dance Centre in Chennai where she also had training under the legendary Adyar K. Lakshman, Anuradha Shinde and Geetha Gopinath. From 2000 Susanna attended classes in the UK with dancer, choreographer Anusha Subramanyam, who greatly influenced her style of teaching with an emphasis on safe dance practice.

Shrimathi Susanna has been teaching and performing Bharatanatyam for over 25 years and has her own dance school, NaatyaEast offering weekly classes in North Essex.
