    Spanda, "a vibration" is symbolic of the enduring and perpetual energy that is the life force of the universe. It incorporates the philosophical concept of Prithvi as the centre and source of energy in the universe and equates it with the nabham, the womb as the origin of energy in the human body. The rediscovery of the basic movements of Indian Classical Dance Style, Bharatanatyam and the need for a reinterpretation of its traditional vocabulary challenges Spanda. Spanda seeks to establish a more relevant dialogue between dance, music and stagecraft. The choreography for Spanda is by Ms. Leela Samson, Director of Kalakshetra. Ms. Samson is a virtuoso performer and sensitive interpreter of the nuances of the ancient dance form Bharatanatyam.
