In “Prerna”, classical Indian dance forms - in this case, bharatanatyam and odissi - are used to explore the issues and emotions faced by the mother of a child who has autism. We speak with dancer/choreographer Sandhya Manoj about how the show uses classical dance to tell a timeless story of motherhood and acceptance.
