Aramandi To Attitude started out as a community of movement arts enthusiasts who wanted to explore the creative potential of the human mind and body. We now strive to promote a paradigm where one learns to look beyond their genres of training and push the boundaries of their creative instinct. We aim to continue building this community into a safe space where people can find the support to nurture their individualistic expressions without restricting their art/practice to conventionally labeled, compartmentalized genres.

About your facilitator, Pritha:
Pritha is a multidisciplinary artist and researcher who finds her voice at the intersection of movement and visual arts, creative coding, and scientific research. She is the Co-founder/Co-director of Aramandi to Attitude and Associate Director of WE-Program. She has been training in different movement art forms like Bharatanatyam, Yoga, Kathak, Kung-fu, Shankar Technique, Butoh, and several contemporary dance styles for the past 20 years and has had her independent movement and visual arts practice since 2019. Along with her artistic pursuits, she has completed two degree-courses of Master of Science by research in experimental, theoretical, and computational ecology and evolutionary biology.  She received scholarships to attend intensives with Jacob Jonas The Company, Flock, and Gallim, during which she ventured into dance filmmaking. Her films have been selected for festivals like Dance on Camera (New York), Constructed Sight (Pittsburg), Room (Ireland), etc.

Currently, she practices developing improvisational movement pieces that explore self-expression through dance that is not restricted to a particular style but constantly evolves and takes new creative forms. In remote collaboration with artists in her movement community, Pritha produces short films and visual arts work. Funded by the WE-Program and Goethe Institute, Pritha also engages in community-driven creative work aimed at facilitation of artists in marginalized communities across the world.
The core of her work aims to contribute towards building an equitable and empathetic society, and research into making resources accessible/connecting communities across contexts is at the heart of it.

1. BEAT THE BLUES: for ages 13 and above
Not sure whether movement arts is your thing, but you feel like it might just be?
You hear a beat, feel like grooving, but you are not sure whether you can?
Do you wish to bust some stress with chilled-out moves and clear your head before starting another grueling day?
Or do you just miss dancing with people?
If you remotely related to any of the above,
THIS IS FOR YOU!

These are open-for-all weekly community movement jams that involve fun games, guided improvisations, and choreographies that you can improvise on. Just drop in to start grooving!
Like all of ATA's space, this is a non-judgmental place for you to explore movement arts and discover what works for you irrespective of age and prior experience.

Beat the blues is about just that --- discovering how you can beat the blues with movement!
Through improv techniques, you will develop your own methods of movement exploration to meet your personal goals -- it may be learning to improvise, finding a  push to keeping up with your practice, unwinding after a long day, or getting together and dancing with fellow movement enthusiasts!
