Title: Kathak, North Indian Classical Dance - Tradition and Evolution

Artists: Anjali Nath (Lead), Pallavi Murugkar and Pranali Dhol of Chhandika, Chhandam Institute of Kathak Dance

Description: Chhandika, Chhandam Institute of Kathak Dance, offers a dynamic and interactive performance of the rich art of kathak, North Indian classical dance. The performers bring to life the dynamic aspects of this ancient art form in the style of Pandit Chitresh Das and senior disciple, Gretchen Hayden. The segment begins with a meaningful invocation called Rangmanch to symbolically "color the stage" and awaken the senses, followed by an innovative mathematical play on rhythm through Pandit Das' groundbreaking technique, Kathak Yoga, displaying rhythmic complexity pushing physical and mental boundaries, and ending with a high energy piece, Tarana, with distinctive and powerful footwork, spins and grace. A universal art and exhilarating experience for the senses.
