Sri Shakti Academy
A team of experienced and internationally acclaimed
Indian artistes has come together to form a platform to reach out to a wider,
multi-cultural audience. With at least a thousand-year legacy behind yoga, each
of the different Indian classical dance forms and musical traditions, these
ancient arts tell the still-evolving story of the cultural and spiritual growth
of the Indian subcontinent.
Their work integrates the various ancient traditions
of India, with special emphasis on yoga and dance to present them in a more
contemporary perspective.
Sri Shakti Academy’s aims are many-fold:
·
To educate the
international public in Hong Kong in the art of appreciation of Indian classical
dance and music, create a better understanding of the various art forms of India
and its relevance in contemporary forms of expression;
·
To promote an
understanding of the various philosophies connected to Indian arts forms and
explain the spirituality of yoga and how we can use the principles to balance
and better our lives in the present times; and
·
To expand students and
audience for Indian art and culture.
With five members who have specialized in different classical art forms and yoga, Sri Shakti is poised to change traditional perceptions about esoteric Indian arts.
