Mainavi: An Ode to Movement

A mini documentary exploring the art of movement through the lives of four artists who make motion their medium

MAINAVI means 'movement' in Sanskrit. Movement, an abstract concept that's fundamental to all living forms.

For a college project, Ms. Kavya Sridhar and I created this mini docu-film to visually showcase the beauty of moving artistically and with intention, through the eyes of 4 professionally acclaimed artists whose lives revolve around the way they move.

The film focuses on insights into the lives of each artist, and how their art of movement impacts their daily lives, on a personal and professional level. Through the course of the film, the art in movement is explored and articulated, through anecdotes and live performance clippings.
