Tomorrow, the Harvard South Asian Association will bring Bharatanatyam, as well as other South Asian dance styles, to Lowell Lecture Hall in its third annual production of “Kalpanam.” Dance pieces will be interspersed with instrumental and vocal music from both Northern and Southern India. While “Kalpanam” is a relatively new Harvard tradition, it partakes in a long history of Indian music, dance, and drama. “Indian classical dance is something that has been carried down for thousands of years...
