Abhinava Sundara Rasanam -Program Note - Bharatanatyam - June 2015

All are invited for a spectacular & colourful dance showcase ABHINAVA-SUDARA-RASANAM presented by Bhuvana Venkatesh, Artistic Director,  Nrithyanivedhan school of dance, San Jose, June 27,2015 at Shirdi Sai Parivaar in Milpitas, California between 3:00 P.M & 6:00 P.M 

ABHINAVA means New or Nascent , SUNDARA means Beauty , RASANAM means Appreciation.

Appreciating the nascent beauty of the divine art form of Bharathanatyam through the varied eyes of a learner, a dancer , a choreographer , a Guru and mainly you the Rasikas – the onlookers of all ages! Beauty and wonder of the artform at the peripheral level and transcending beyond what one can perceive and understand by just mere appreciation. “Kimartham punah punah? “ – is a Sanskrit term we use for questioning as to “Why Again and Again?” What is it in this great artform that we are delighted in catching a glimpse of the same either by just being an onlooker or feeling one with it Again and Again! Is there newness everytime the art is done, what is this newness bringing into us ? Is it the feeling of the one with the divine or the one with that something which is universal in you and me , the newness of that oneness within all! 

    The director says " In appreciating the ART , we appreciate life as well . In finding the nascent beauty we find that newness in our inner beauty as well! " 

 Guru  Bhuvana Venkatesh , Principal dancer - Harshitha Venkatesh and Students of Nrithyanivedhan School of Dance will be sharing the beauty of the artform with everyone at ABHINAVA-SUNDARA-RASANAM.

A Report

The show opened up with an apt invocation to Ganesha in Nattai ragam and ended with a fitting finale Balamurali's popular Kadanakuthoohalam thillana. It was a great evening with a great lineup of fantastic dances. The whole event was a superb treat to the eyes. Each of the girls were looking like real Lakshmis dancing away for each God they were dancing for. The costumes and makeup were really good and most of all very well coordinated. Panchabuta was a highlight of the show  music, choreography, costumes, dancers -- just fit so well and it just was so spectacular. Brilliantly choreogrpahed piece by Late Sri Vempati Chinna satyam presented by the Guru and her post arangetram students was well executed. The uniformity of the costumes and the co-ordination of the dance movements made the show top notch.

The event was sold out in-spite of being a working day.
