Erasing Borders, Downtown Dance Festival, New York - Apollinaire scherr, Financial Times, Aug 21, 2014  In a particularly lovely rendition of the invocation to the elephant god Ganesh, Kuchipudi practitioner Yamini Saripalli suggested the trunk's swing by loosley lifting her leg, and its finger-like grasp by keeping one hand closed like a bud. She conveyed the elephant's girth and gentleness with swaying, sideways steps, and his massive feet with heel-toe stamps. And yet she would periodically interrupt the rhythmic dancing to press her palms together in prayer to the figure she had just embodies, then stretch her arms towards us as if to say, "look what bounty he has given me: you". We were her pious rewards - devotees of Ganesh by way of her art.
