Veteran Odissi dancer Kshama Rao, the daughter of well known writer and playwright Shivaram Karanth, speaks her mind when it comes to the protection of traditional art forms.
“We can’t just imitate the West in everything. We have a rich tradition and heritage in art, textiles and handlooms that has been passed on for generations… I am committed towards creating heritage awareness among youngsters, who are losing out a lot now,” she says.
Ms. Rao, who finished a three-day workshop on Odissi dance in the city, took time off from her classes to share her thoughts on topics ranging from protection of traditional art forms, her entry into Odissi, and the influence of her guru Kelucharana Mahapatra and her father Shivaram Karanth, with Ms. Rao says she got attracted towards Odissi after seeing a performance in 1970’s in Kalakshetra in Chennai, where she had settled after marriage. “I always go for very graceful and emotional dance forms. Odissi has this quality … It also suited what I wanted.” Ms. Rao had been initiated into Bharatanatyam at a young age when she was taught by Vishwanath Rai in Puttur. She had acted as a child artist in many dance dramas of her father.
After seeing the Odissi dance form, Ms. Rao, who was then aged 28, joined Odissi classes conducted by Kelucharan Mahapatra’s disciple Ramani Ranjan Jena. It is here, she says, she got in touch with Kalakshetra founder Rukmini Devi Arundale. Ms. Rao regards Rukmini Devi as her mentor and she has been greatly influenced by Ms. Rukmini’s great aesthetic sense and the work of reviving old traditions. “It really opened up my mind,” she recalls.
Aesthetic vision
Ms. Rao says has been fortunate to learn directly from Kelucharan Mahapatra from whom she learnt ‘saatvika abhinaya’. This helped her develop aesthetic vision and “forge my own identity”, she says. Her father insisted on being honest and preserving her integrity, she says.
Ms. Rao says it is difficult for students from the coastal city to follow the nuances of Odissi. “Through workshops, students are exposed to this dance form.” She appreciated the efforts being put by Jayalakshmi Alva, the founder director of Sridevi Nrithya Kendra, in exposing students to different dance forms. “This is my second workshop here,” she says.
