Mythili Prakash

She’s Auspicious is a solo Bharatanatyam dance work with live music. It examines the contradiction in Indian culture between worship of the Goddess and the treatment of women in Society.

Through this paradox, the work grapples with the hypocrisy that exists within me, the individual - a microcosm of society - and permeates the broader spectrum of global cultures to shape our thought and behavior patterns.

She’s Auspicious investigates the relationship between “femininity” and “purity” in mythical narratives surrounding the Goddess, the Woman, the Dancing Body, and the social and performative constructs of Bharatanatyam.

This piece marks a pivotal shift in my own artistic process as I attempt to move from the “depictive” to the “experiential,” challenging assumptions of beauty and refinement in my practice and performance.

Mythili Prakash creates on the land of the Chumash, Tongva, and Kizh Peoples.
