Synopsis:
This documentary follows international artist, Colleena Shakti through her many faces in the dance at Shakti School of Dance in India and beyond. Includes interviews with her Guru – Sujata Mohapatra, international students and fellow artists.
Directed and produced by Juianne Reynolds of Romanski Films (Los Angeles), this short film is a window into the work of an American-born contemporary fusion artist who has steeped herself in the culture and traditions of India for the past 15 years, studying Odissi and Rajasthani dance and using these art forms to express the transformational potency of dance.
Never has there been an artist to capture the essence of dance with such grace and authenticity as Colleena Shakti. But it goes beyond that, for it takes passion and faith to stay on a path that has many challenges for an American living in India and being a foreigner. This inner calling to know and seek truth has not only changed her life, but changes those that have seen her on stage and have studied with her at the, Shakti School of Dance in Pushkar, India.
This short documentary, shot in India and the US, captures the essence of her mission to teach the importance of lineage, but it also captures the essence of the mystical path of that Colleena walks, in the world, on the stage and at home in India. Her students can only lend the most humble voice to Colleena's hard work as a teacher and dancer, but to Colleena the role she admires the most in her life is that of her being a ""student"", and staying curious, and striving for something higher.
Directed by Julianne Reynolds
