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.

  • The dance should be called "Scrubbed". As for the music, sounds exactly like a cat clawing on a loose guitar.

  • I didnt sleep through it, I was just relaxing my eyelids so that the upper one snugly fitted over the lower space below in order that the cornea was completely covered - which is the best way of 'feeling' these 'Korean' emotions. Its amazing that people come out with this bs and give it names of creativity. Its as creative as my sleep.
