Tanvi Rao

I am a passionate student of Bharathanatyam, since age 4. I have also received some training in contemporary and kathak dance forms. I began formal training in acting as I graduated with a degree in performing arts at Christ University, Bangalore, and continued to attend various acting workshops and internships. I have had the opportunity to perform in various prestigious venues in India and outside.
My exploration and experimentations through the years have led me to understand that empathy and imagination are my strengths. They drive my creative force. I see myself wearing different shoes and performing various shades because I can accept and become someone that I might not have previously been.
I was introduced to both theatre and psychology at the same time and its duet left a footprint on my understanding of art. I am intrigued by the mind and try to explore it with everything I create. Theatre, whereas, taught me that art is a collective form, coming from and going back to the community. Hence, I look to contribute positively to my community and my people, in the little ways that I can.
I believe that the reason I am so drawn to art since an early age, is my love for stories. I constantly explore the stories within my body, and I use various mediums to tell the stories that I think are important. I am always keen on learning new ways in which I can express and communicate.
