Mandala Arts and Culture is a Vancouver-based company dedicated to producing, developing and presenting the classical Indian dance form bharata natyam; and to supporting the artistic vision of dancer and choreographer Jai Govinda. Mandala equally exists to create a legacy of excellence for bharata natyam by training students through the Dance Academy in mastering the dance form so that they may perform, share, and in turn train other students. Mandala encourages and provides opportunities for local, national and international collaborations and exchanges. Mandala's projects are committed not only to classical presentations of the dance form, but to opportunities for the representation and reinterpretation of a traditional form into a contemporary context. Mandala is committed to introducing the dance form to diverse audiences, by taking the complex and nuanced forms of the dance and making them meaningful and accessible through workshops, lectures, demonstrations and discussions. Mandala Arts and Culture was established in 1999 and is a registered charitable organization.
