Danseuse Hemabharathy Palani performed two unique contemporary dance pieces with strong social themes at the Alliance Francaise recently.

The first one called Chaaya dealt with the topic of child sexual abuse while the second piece Uruvam focused on the issue of transgender sexuality.

Hemabharathy is a senior repertory member of Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts who has trained in Kuchupudi from the age of 12 under dancer Vyjayanthi Kashi.
Her repertoire also includes training in Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kalarippayattu, Yoga, ballet and Pilates.
