    Shantala Shivalingappa

    Born in Madras, India, brought up in Paris, Shantala is the child of east and west. She grew up in a world filled with dance and music, initiated at a tender age by her mother, dancer Savitry Nair. Acclaimed as rare dancer by artists and connoisseurs in India and Europe, Shantala combines a perfect technique with flowing grace and a very fine sensitivity. Since the age of 13, she had the priviledge to work with some of the greatest artists of our times: Maurice Béjart («1789...et nous»), Peter Brook (she interpreted Miranda in «The tempest», then Ophelia in « Hamlet»), Bartabás («Chimère»), Pina Bausch («O Dido», «Néfès» and «Bamboo Blues»).
    Such experiences make her artistic journey a truly unique one, which leads to the birth of “Namasya”: four solos composed by Pina Bausch, Ushio Amagatsu, Savitry Nair and Shantala herself, she shows that her talent is such that she makes virtuosity look like second nature.
    Today, Shantala shares her time between touring, expanding her choreographic work in the Kuchipudi style, and collaborating with various artists in the exploration of dance, music and theatre.
