Zalk Theatre in Ojai
Greetings from Happy Valley! I'm writing to announce a very special event. The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts & Happy Valley Foundation will present the Rangoli Dance Company and artists from India, performing 'Gods & Goddesses' at the Zalk Theatre in Ojai on Saturday, July 31st, at 7 pm.
Founded by award-winning dancer and choreographer Malathi Iyengar, the Rangoli Dance Company is a celebrated group of artists committed to preserving and promoting India's rich heritage of classical dance & music. On July 31st they will perform in the Bharatanatyam and Folk dance styles, depicting enthralling stories of the gods and goddesses of India. The numerous deities in the Hindu Pantheon are considered manifestations of the Supreme Spirit that can take any form any time.
India is a storehouse of myths and legends and these dances reveal stories that depict HIM as the infant and then the lover Krishna, the handsome king Rama, the learned Goddess Saraswati, the loyal but independent Parvati, the majestic Shiva, or the benevolent Lakshmi. The presentation is part of the Happy Valley Cultural Center's mission to support and encourage international and intercultural understanding. The Cultural Center provides a venue for all the arts as well as for dialogues on social and scientific issues of interest to the community at large, while introducing students to diversity in both traditional and non-traditional spheres of human endeavor.

"This bundle of energy that I am. . . Interested in being honest,
interested in bringing beauty into the world, interested in helping
suffering in the world. That is the bundle of what I am. And when I
think of myself, I think of that."
