BHAVNA

BHAVNA is based on pure kathak (a major form of Indian classical dance) repertoire showcasing intricate kathak techniques and deep moods of emotions which are weaved together bringing a harmony. The production begins with a traditional salutation to the divine, followed by a lyrical composition incorporating brisk rhythmic patterns of footwork, unique formations and graceful movements. This transcends to a vibrant and powerful “Jugalbandhi” element – the dialogue between the percussionist and the dancer followed by a pure classical piece that showcases some of the traditional aspects of this unique dance form. BHAVNA concludes with a musical piece where all emotions are elevated and surrendered to the divine.

Performed by International Kathak Artists Hari & Chethana
