Appaji -
'Koravanji'
I will be performing a folk dance called 'Koravanji' a fortune teller
belonging to a travelling tribe from Tamil Nadu in southern India. Here
she is telling how they hunt and feast upon wild animals. She is very
proud that she hails from Tamil Nadu which is full of "emerald-green
forest", where all kinds of arts flourish and where there is praise
of 'Lord Muruga'. Though it is a folk dance, it has strong influence from
Bharatanatyam.
