Notes to Myself l Episode 1 l Season 1 l Leela Samson l MOPA

Notes to Myself is one of MOPA’s flagship projects - a series of interactive, expository documentaries that deconstructs the lives and creative processes of some of the most impactful professionals and organisations associated with South India’s performing arts. Done in a let-your-hair-down and from-the-heart way, these offer an honest, moving and at times funny and charmingly unguarded look at the lives of these artistes. Episode 1 of this series features Leela Samson. Leela Samson is among India’s most lauded Bharatanatyam dancers. Over the years, her style has metamorphosed from the best of her alma mater Kalakshetra, into a unique and exquisite expression all her own – unostentatious, serene, graceful and marked by impeccable technique and precision. In short, her dance is a perfect extension of her personality.
