Odissi dance now finds a new home at Bundaleer a homestead built in 1886 surrounded by pristine land, full of ancient trees, several cottages, lakes, birds, kangaroos, cows and sheep. Classes for odissi are held here regularly by Monica Singh who also lives on this land in a separate cottage close to the main building which is the studio and the natural therapy centre.
The centre offers regular, weekly, individual and group lessons in Odissi dance. It also has accommodation for outstation and international students who wish to stay and learn odissi intensively in the Gurukul style of learning. The centre also offers three monthly intense workshops both basic and advanced for students from different backgrounds of learning.
The centre is being developed into a full fledged arts residency where people of different artistic backgrounds both visual and performing can come, stay, workshop, create, interact and work on new ideas in total harmony with the surroundings. It will be later turned into a performance space to hold regular shows by the students and artists visiting Bundaleer. The idea is to create a multiracial, multicultural place of art interaction in the midst of the ancient aboriginal land. The Sohamasmi centre for arts is a non profit organisation with members across the spectrum consisting of professionals, artists, local community and well wishers. We welcome all queries and artists who wish to participate in this endeavour.
