Grantis Peronda '13, Mantras in Action
From the Filmmaker:
Note: I do not own or claim to own any of the music used. Songs belong to their artists and the instrumental versions were taken from other YouTube channels.
This dance film was a part of my student project for my Independent Study In Dance and my Film/Video Production class. Each segment is a scenario that many college students, especially PC students, can relate to.
Mantras in Action Choreographed and Directed by Grantis Peranda '13 "A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of "creating transformation". This dance film captures mantras in action through scenarios that many students experience and meditate on a daily basis. Typical scenarios are danced because they cannot be fully understood through verbal explanation.
