		<description><![CDATA[Sutra – excelled in its presentation and finish. It revealed the secrets of classical Indian dance in a mixed media form, transitioning between big screen depictions of temples and interviews with dancers of today to the dancers and live musicians on stage with immaculate precision and professionalism. Held in the confines of the Lennox Theatre at the Parramatta Riverside Theatre on the 4 May 2013, dancers Sandhya and Govind Pillai along with Little Srinidhi Nair presented three styles of South Indian Dance &#8211; Bharathanatyam, Kuchipudi and Mohiniattam. Through out the show the dances were interspersed with film depiction with a meaningful commentary that weaved and joined the two mediums, film and live music and dance together. The film depicted the origins of Bharathanatyam, insight into the life of Rukmini Devi Arundel,  the meaning of the essential components of dance, mudras and abhinaya and layam,  hand and foot gestures before moving on to the modern and present development of dance as it is seen today. The dancers continued through various pieces emphasizing the mudras and their  meaning with foot tapping mathematical rhythms from the Kauthuvam to the Mysore Jathi performed by little Srinidhi Nair who delightfully presented Adinaye Kanna showing the [...]]]></description>

They embody the rich classical music of Northern and Central India. A torchbearer of the Senia Bangash school, Pt Debojyoti Bose renders the delicacy of classical melody (ragas) on the Sarod with saintly poise. Debojyoti is equally dexterous with his deft strokes of percussion. A celebrated TV presenter in India, Debojyoti is keen on bringing classical music closer to the populace through contemporary and folk music. Music must be entertaining &#8211; that&#8217;s the motto! Pt. Kumar Bose’s (Guruji) magical fingers can be thunderous as well as tender on the Tabla. The Benaras school of Tabla shines through Guruji’s intense rhythmic sense and presentation. Guruji has been there collaborating with Pundit Ravi Shankar, Yehudi Menuhin, Zubin Mehta and George Harrison &#8211; at Royal Albert Hall, in Moscow, in New York &#8230; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Post Sangamam &#8211; It was a great experience to have had such a wonderful successful show with a mad rush for the sale of tickets leading up to the event. Thank you to all the members of the Vedanta Centre of Sydney, their volunteers who worked tirelessly from 12:00pm to 12:00am. The dance teachers Hamsa Venkat of the Samskriti School of Dance; Padma Balakumar of Nrityagriha School of Dance, Sharmila Maitra of the Geetanjali School of Dance; Aruna Gandhimathinathan of the Silambam School of Dance; Ruchi Sanghi and her students and Mridula Subramanian. After a serene start to the sounds of the cello accompanied by a prayer like rendition of Megh Malhar and Ragam Lathangi by myself, thanks to Giridhar and Niranjan Deodhar, to the united efforts of all dance teachers seeing the formation of the emblem take fruition, it was truly an art in coordination that was finally worked through 15 minutes before the doors were opened. Between curtains, light, music, announcements and the sculpturistic poses that the dancers, one who pleaded (Please don&#8217;t sing the verse for too long, we have to hold the pose for all that time !! )from all schools held for the 3 divine minutes which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Presented by South India Fine Arts Association (SIFAA) at the National Art Gallery on April 6th, 2013, ‘Nrityamalika’, featured the Indian classical solo dance traditions of Bharatanatyam, Odissi and Kathak by three Australia based highly accomplished artistes – Aruna Gandhimathinathan (Bharatanatyam), Monica Singh (Odissi) and Shruti Ghosh (Kathak). SIFAA in Canberra, founded and steered by Mr. Gopal Krishnan has been contributing immensely in promoting Indian art and culture in Australia. Nrityamalika, was SIFAA’s attempt to move a step closer towards providing a truly multicultural view of the varied dance forms that emanate from India on the same platform. &#160; Kathak by Shruti Ghosh: Shruti Ghosh trained under Guru Sumitra Mitra in Jaipur Gharana style of Kathak began with an invocatory piece called Shiv Tandav. Shiva, the destroyer is also incarnated as Nataraj – the God of dancing. Impulse of creation, destruction and preservation are all symbolized through the Nataraj statue as has been indicated by dancers, scholars and researchers. Tandav which stands for valor, energy and (perhaps) a sense of awe on the other hand expresses the profusely creative impulse of dance that Shruti tried to convey through the piece. Her next piece was a Nritta or pure dance piece [...]]]></description>
