In a rare club performance, the Kalapriya Foundation Center for Indian Performing Arts will present a trio of music and dance performances entitled “Chakras…Mantra, Tantra,Yantra,” the Hindu terms for energy, chanting, worship and geometric forms or spiritual, physical and emotional aspects of well-being. Using the body as an instrument of meditative repetition, the dancers will seek to interpret the meaning of these concepts through dancing to live Indian classical music supplied by Nikhil Trivedi and musicians of Maahaul, who will also supply musical interludes between the dances.
