padma menon

A creative space where Dance, Body, Poetry, and Nature meet in enmeshed choreography. 

Padma Menon is dancer, poet and writer whose creative work explores themes of dance as philosophical inquiry, the enmeshed choreography of dance and words, and Body as the site of Reality’s poetic intelligence. 

After five decades of an international career in performance, choreography and teaching, Padma is currently focused on her personal creative work. In her creative explorations she connects dance and word, seeking to source text through choreographic inquiry. Inspired by archetypal deities from her culture, she proposes that words may emanate from embodied creative inquiry and thus reveal glimpses of our primordial nature. Padma also publishes her creative work on her website www.movingarchetypes.com
