Java to Jāvali brings the playful emotional world of the Bharatanatyam jāvali into the rhythm of Bay Area life. Traditionally, jāvalis explore everyday human relationships — longing, teasing, pride, negotiation, and the art of expressive conversation. In this modern re-imagining, those emotions meet calendars, coffee, commutes, and constant notifications.

Performed by professional dancers and practitioners who balance careers, deadlines, traffic, family responsibilities, and creative passion, this presentation reflects what happens when abhinaya finds its place between stand-ups and araimandi, meetings and mudras. Rehearsals become sacred time — a space where discipline, creativity, shared laughter, and quiet support come together.

Whether you work in tech, manage a busy household, pursue the arts, or simply juggle the many roles of modern life, Java to Jāvali speaks to today’s realities — love, choice, boundaries, voice, and self-expression. No classical background is required — just a sense of recognition for the many roles we all dance through each day.

Presented with live music by the Bay Area’s esteemed musicians, this intimate studio performance offers a fresh, confident take on tradition.

Limited seating.
