Exploring domestic violence through bharatanatyam

The highlight of the night was an emotionally charged monologue, which had some audience members in tears.

Using the power of movement, bharatanatyam dancer Kamini Manikam explored the issue of domestic violence in Lipstick.

THE art of movement is one of the oldest art forms. The human body instinctively responds to situations through movement before the mind and tongue can verbalise an answer. For centuries, people have danced in response to an instinctual need for emotional expression.
