Before the Pandemic and after...the challenges of performing arts!

One of the most difficult challenges for the students of performing arts has been to continue their classes through the lockdown and the severe restrictions placed on in-person classes. Smt.Maya Vinayan of the Triveni Academy of Natya has been offering classes to all her students online through the pandemic quickly adopting to the virtual medium despite its obvious limitations.

Maithreyi and the group of senior students had performed at the famous Thiruvanaikkaval temple near Tiruchirapalli in the last week of January 2020. With the pandemic raising immediately after that, many of them couldn't meet each other in person for over 2 years and some had moved on and lost contact with the remaining students. 

For the Rangapravesam of Maithreyi many of her co-students from the dance school where she has been an integral part for over a decade now will be joining her - perhaps the first time such a gathering is happening since the pandemic.
