Performances galore

Hi all,

It's been a while since I have written anything. To begin with -- 1) My performance titled "Gems of Margam" was a big success in Mumbai for the ICCR Horizons festival. Mumbai Mirror featured a preview , the preview was an interesting one , except that there was a quote which I supposedly gave which goes like this -" Bharatanatyam has lot of erotic dances , but not all of them is bhakti ." Folks! am I so superficial that I can say something like this .....besides that will I use such "Lame " Language.

I remember correctly , the journalist asked me a question related to my article -- Nayika Bheda-s -- aka pamper the male ego , which deals with the reflection of women and their status and exposes the fact that it treats women as objects of lust and beauty. With relation to this I said that the medieval poetry is full of erotic content and that is also the time we see the Bhakti element reaching its prime but not all erotic content is bhakti and vice versa.

If the journalist finds it difficult to digest this why don't they just stick to reporting!!


My production "kaleidoscope" was met with a very good response with everybody reacting ver positively ....the clips would be uploaded by next week on you tube!!

So concluding my post with two foto-s from --- our muscat performance of nritya sangam and Kaleidoscope .
