After training in the traditional
Indian dance bhârata natyam, Padmini Chettur entered
the Chandralekha Indian dance company, a pioneer of
contemporary expression in a country in profound mutation.
From her classical training she retained a precise,
refined technique; from the teachings of Chandralekha,
she was left with the desire to decode the form and
the movement, reducing the features of bhârata
natyam to an abstract line and freeing the female body from
the traditional obligations of seduction, beauty and
perfection.
Pushed was created in 2006 in South Korea.
Starting out from the seven basic emotions of Korean
philosophy – anger, pain, pleasure, happiness, sadness,
love and lust – Padmini Chettur develops a subtle choreography,
decidedly contemporary, but executed with the extreme
precision and grace of traditional Indian dance. The
six dancers progress almost imperceptibly between states
of great tension and moments of fluidity. The soundtrack
was created in Seoul with Korean musicians playing
traditional instruments.
