On April 29th, “Seeds of Humanity,” an all-day collaborative sharing
learning exchange that was initiated six months ago with Dr. Prakriti
Bhaskar and Bali's oldest Maestro Ayu Raka Rasmi, traditional dancer,
choreographer and teacher to create a cultural exchange via the
"framework of dance." The goal is to compare the importance of
traditional frameworks in the development of our youths experience in
the learning of "fine arts." Maestro Rasmi stands on the importance of
how the arts play a key role in our wellbeing and emotional
intelligences; which are the motivations to all of our aspirations in
living. Having lost her young husband; short years after their marriage,
her devotional dance allows her to connect with her Gamelan musician
husband till today's golden age of seventy seven. “Love never dies”
Maestro exclaimed through devotional processes.
Dr. Prakriti Bhaskar, founder of Shiladish Art and Research
Institute in Mumbai; moving beyond the conventional role of a world-
class Classical Indian performer, choreographer and teacher, she has
been working ceaselessly to de-mystify the popularized and
desensitized connections with the arts. Her mission is in preserving the
intent and integrity of the arts for the future generations. Dr. Bhaskar
shares that "if you like the popularized freedom of dance and allowing
your emotions to just flow, you should at least understand its
framework from traditional/ancient dances.” What is
“ancient/traditional” are just a time allocated labels of human
consciousness and practices that has transcended time. Otherwise
traditional concepts still holds true to the intent of nurturing our inner
beings at the emotional intelligence level for optimum dynamics of
living. “Come taste the pudding and make the decision for yourself”
Dr. Bhaskar exclaimed. She believes the learning of fine arts should
correlate in the fine arts of learning and living.
“Seeds of Humanity”, presented by WOW Bali in collaborations
with the ARMA Museum hopes to initiate the exchange of cultures;
