Seeta Patel is a dynamic young British talent, highly acclaimed for her skill, unique perspective and contemporary presentation style she brings to the beautiful and ancient South Indian classical art form of Bharatanatyam. Seeta Patel has created a compelling interpretation of Stravinsky's iconic The Rite Of Spring, with the classical South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam performed by a cast of 12 dancers in an ensemble piece, accompanied live by Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Unusually, this version subverts tradition by choosing a male as The Chosen One, elevating him to a deity to whom all sacrifice themselves. Seeta Patel Dance - The Rite of Spring website.
