(Applause)

00:03:42,426 --> 00:03:47,251
When Ritika rehearsed at our home
and also at the college here --

4
00:03:47,251 --> 00:03:49,752
And we should mention 
that much of her dance incorporates

5
00:03:49,752 --> 00:03:51,973
symbolism from clasicall Indian dance --

6
00:03:51,973 --> 00:03:54,091
I'm wondering if you could share a bit about

7
00:03:54,091 --> 00:03:56,375
what you told us 
about the different gestures to simbolism.

8
00:03:56,375 --> 00:03:57,973
What do they mean?

9
00:03:57,973 --> 00:04:02,304
So basically there is a story
behind what I just did.

10
00:04:02,304 --> 00:04:06,760
When I started like this
it actually symbolized

11
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,199
me growing up and then
when I had some gestures

12
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,931
like this and this --
so that was like adding hair accessories,

13
00:04:15,931 --> 00:04:20,720
this was like combing my hair,
this is like wearing my anklet

14
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,583
and checking everything turning around,

15
00:04:24,583 --> 00:04:26,409
learning to walk,

16
00:04:26,409 --> 00:04:29,676
starting to fly, learning to fly

17
00:04:29,676 --> 00:04:32,000
and then the second piece of my performance

18
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,124
when I am up high in the sky,

19
00:04:34,124 --> 00:04:37,382
trying to look at the clouds,
grab everything.

20
00:04:37,382 --> 00:04:40,482
So basically there was a whole story which

21
00:04:40,482 --> 00:04:43,279
was to know this small gestures --

22
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,780
It was Indian semi-classical with contemporary.

23
00:04:46,780 --> 00:04:48,168
So that was the whole story.

24
00:04:48,168 --> 00:04:50,820
My journey from childhood, growing up,

25
00:04:50,820 --> 00:04:53,721
spreading my wings and learning to fly.

26
00:04:53,721 --> 00:04:54,525
Thank you!

27
00:04:54,525 --> 00:04:56,559
