TWO PERFECT : Yamini Muthanna, Drector, Kalasinchanam, Bangalore gave two exquisite Bharatnatyam recitals. All her rich experience and expertise acquired methodically over this period were brought into sharp focus impressively. In both her demanding Varnams, Yamini was able to execute all the correlated aspects of dance - nritta, nritya and abhinaya in harmonious balance. Her Varnams were marked with lithe, lissome grace and mature propriety. Yamini fulfilled pleasingly, the structural requirements of these numbers.
The highlight Tillana was presented winsomely, the intricate footwork, thrikala jathi theermanams, sclputral poses, alluring nadais and bhavas, rhythmic jathi patterns, sequential charis and technical efficiency of a high order.

TOGETHER IN HARMONY : Dance is her medium, It has helped her visualize the extraordinary in the ordinary and conjure images from nothingness. It was'nt surprising that Yamini Muthanna the well-known Bangalore based dancer and yoga expert, sought to blend two seemingly incongruous elements - dance and jewellery, at Bengalooru Habba.

RHYTHM DIVINE: PASSIONS : For Yamini Muthanna dance is a form of visual communications on her thoughts and her learning process in life.
Yamini's new experimental work "Manas" is about her thought process, which she has divided into five parts. The first she says, is the abstract level, where she explores the manas itself.. then universal level with the 5 elements of the nature..
