LASYA KAVYA The Official Trailer

'Lasya Kavya - The world of Alarmél Valli' Lasya Kavya is an award-winning documentary about Alarmél Valli, one of India's most celebrated dancers of Bharatanatyam - one of the best- known of the Indian classical dance forms. Alarmél Valli says "Indian classical dance is a celebration of the body, mind and spirit. It can be a joyous, healing, uplifting experience both for the dancer and the audience. For me, at its most intense, dance is a prayer with my entire being -- a joyous celebration of life." Lasya Kavya is a lyrical journey into the aesthetic and artistic world of Alarmél Valli. In the words of eminent director, Sankalp Mehsram, "In the context of the growing alienation of people from the classical arts, Lasya Kavya is a film that tries to show the freshness, dynamism and contemporary quality of a classical form like Bharatanatyam. In the persona of Alarmél Valli, one finds that amalgam of tradition fusing with modernity to produce art of exhilarating beauty."
