My workshop at the St. Louis Art Museum: A MOSAIC OF MANY HEARTS: LITERATURE, MYTH, AND IDENTITY IN THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT Wednesday, December 2, 2015 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm Vast and varied, the Indian subcontinent has been shaped over several millennia by literature, myth, and religion. In this multidisciplinary workshop, we will discuss how these cultural and spiritual expressions have influenced the richly textured identity of India. Topics will include a brief introduction to classical Indian literature and Hindu myth, with a discussion of some Buddhist myth, and a demonstration of classical Indian dance. Teachers will learn basic mudras, or hand gestures, of Indian dance that animate both the dancing body as well as many Hindu and Buddhist sculptures. In addition, we will relate what we have learned to sculpture and objects in the Hundu, Buddhist, and Islamic art galleries and will engage in ekphrastic poetry. These layered interactions will enable teachers to gain an understanding of the lively diversity that informs the Indian imagination. Led by Nartana Premachandra, writer, performing artist, public speaker, and President of Dances of India PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.</image:caption>
