Abhinaya Dance Company’s Kolam: At the Threshold

Kolam: At the Threshold, choreographed by Abhinaya Principal Artist and Choreographer Rasika Kumar, is a new full-length 80-minute Bharatanatyam dance work that explores ritual, inheritance, and cultural memory through the South Indian practice of kolam—daily rice-flour drawings made at the threshold of the home. The piece integrates Bharatanatyam movement, Carnatic music, spoken text, and spatial design inspired by kolam’s geometric structures.
