Sridaya Srivatsan

Sridaya Srivatsan (she/her) is a queer Indian Classical artist and storyteller. She stopped by the pod to talk about her new dance film Poetry In Motion and talk we did! I especially enjoyed the themes of self care and prioritizing rest in this episode.

"Poetry in Motion takes the works of two Tamil poets from different centuries, describing divinity through nature imagery. As the pandemic came upon us, many took to the forests and wilderness to cope with the inability to connect with other humans in person. This project is a venture and a plea, for us to not forget the vital role Mother Nature plays, to not forget the divinity we witness in this world. A reminder that even the storms of life can bring us closer to one-ness and the supreme energy source; it all depends on perspective. This work is also a token of gratitude to the urban centers of the world which still prioritize green space. This project had its music and filming completed in the City of Ottawa (Odawa, the unceded territory of the Anishnaabe people)"
