Kodukotti

About the Programme

This is a drop-in activity. You may reserve a slot between 10am – 4pm and come any time within your reserved slot.

Kodukotti is inspired by a powerful tale from Tamil literature, Silapathikkaram. It is structured as a Tandavam – a vigorous dance that reflects the intense emotions and heroism of the story. In the performance, the dancer represents both Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, with one side of her body symbolizing masculinity and the other with feminine energy.  Experience a unique Bharatanatyam dance that blends symbolism and rhythm in an expressive performance.

Running Time: 5 mins

Format: Stereoscopic 180-degree VR

About DanceXR 2025: Tradition in Motion

DanceXR returns in March 2025 with a focus on celebrating cultural heritage through dance and technology as we present five new works from Malay, Indian and Chinese traditions in 180-degree and 360-degree virtual reality (VR). The VR works include: Si Tanggang by Sri Warisan, Joget: An Immersive Journey Through Time by P7:1SMA, Kodukotti by Sakthi Fine Arts, and Where the Flowers Bloom by Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre.

Experiencing dance in VR is unlike attending a performance from your seat in the theatre or watching a regular video on the screen.  VR places you at the heart of the action for an up-close and personal experience. In Joget: An Immersive Journey Through Time, you can even learn and practice the traditional Malay dance in VR.

DanceXR is an arts-tech initiative by creative-tech studio Avventura, and is supported by the National Arts Council Singapore.
