When Ritika rehearsed at our home[br]and also at the college here --

0:03:47.251,0:03:49.752
And she mentioned[br]that much of her dance incorporates

0:03:49.752,0:03:51.973
symbolism from clasical Indian dance --

0:03:51.973,0:03:54.091
I'm wondering if you could share a bit about

0:03:54.091,0:03:56.375
what you told us [br]about the different gestures to symbolism.

0:03:56.375,0:03:57.973
What do they mean?

0:03:57.973,0:04:02.304
So basically there is a story[br]behind what I just did.

0:04:02.304,0:04:06.760
When I started like this[br]it actually symbolized

0:04:06.760,0:04:11.199
me growing up and then[br]when I had some gestures

0:04:11.199,0:04:15.931
like this and this --[br]so that was like adding hair accessories,

0:04:15.931,0:04:20.720
this was like combing my hair,[br]this is like wearing my anklet

0:04:20.720,0:04:24.583
and checking everything turning around,

0:04:24.583,0:04:26.409
learning to walk,

0:04:26.409,0:04:29.676
starting to fly, learning to fly

0:04:29.676,0:04:32.000
and then the second piece of my performance

0:04:32.000,0:04:34.124
when I am up high in the sky,

0:04:34.124,0:04:37.382
trying to look at the clouds,[br]grab everything.

0:04:37.382,0:04:40.482
So basically there was a whole story which

0:04:40.482,0:04:43.279
was to know this small gestures --

0:04:43.279,0:04:46.780
It was Indian semi-classical with contemporary.

0:04:46.780,0:04:48.168
So that was the whole story.

0:04:48.168,0:04:50.820
My journey from childhood, growing up,

0:04:50.820,0:04:53.721
spreading my wings and learning to fly.

0:04:53.721,0:04:54.525
Thank you!
