ānanda
Dance of joy

The word Ānanda (आनन्द /ஆனந்த) in Sanskrit is regarded as a verbal noun - nanda prefixed with ā Mathra. The ā indicates the place where the verbal action occurs. The word ānanda thus implies a locus - that in which one finds bliss, joy and happiness
Ānanda Dance of joy, is not a work of finding oneself, but rather a celebration of what has been found during my journey with dance!
The work is a collection of pieces choreographed both by his teacher, Smt. Bragha Bessel, and by Christopher, under her mentorship (Chennai)
It has been presented in Darlinghurst Eternity Theatre, Sydney; Dancehouse Season, Melbourne; Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, Bombay; and Kalavaahini Dance for Dance Festival, Chennai.
