I firmly believe that an art form can only grow through innovations and explorations.
Still, these innovations do not contribute anything to the art without the foundations of the traditional structures.
Through my artistry I constantly strive to widen the horizons of Kuchipudi by exploring various thematic performances and productions and yet never compromised on the structures of the yore.
Each of the production have distinctive explorations of time-tested concepts, redefining the tales and presentations to suit the modern audience.
Yamini is also budding a choreographer, her production ‘Harmony’ along with modern dancer Leah Curtis from New York was well received by the audience and was invited to be performed at the prestigious Nishagndhi festival in Kerala
She has collaborated with dancers Gopika Varma, Krithika Subramaniam, and actress Suhasini Maniratnam in ‘Antaram’ a multi–art-form production which features three classical dance styles of the South along with a theatre and other arts.
Recently in 2015 she conceptualized and presented ‘Adviteeyam’ a Kuchipudi dance presentation along with Bhavana Reddy
In 2016 Yamini Reddy presented jointly with Bhavana Reddy production ‘Shiva Leela’
2018 Yamini conceptualized the production ‘ Suryam Pranamayaham’ an ode to Surya which was showcased at the Parampara series National Festival of music and dance
2019 Yamini conceptualized and premiered her latest production ‘Drishya Kavya’ poetry in movement
