415: BETTY SEID: Shiva Nataraja: Timeless Dancer
Often depicted in bronze icons, including a stunning example in the Art Institute, the god Shiva serves simultaneously as Destroyer and Regenerator in Hindu cosmology. His whirling dance sets the cyclical rhythm of life and death underlying Hindu beliefs. Seid is coordinator and research associate in the Art Institute’s department of Asian art. Lecture followed by a traditional dance to Shiva by Krithika Rajagopalan, assistant artistic director and principal dancer of Chicago’s Natya Dance Theater.
