The thriving scene of Bharathanatyam in New England was elevated to new heights this last Saturday. 'Krishna - A Ballet' by Shri. Madurai. R. Muralidharan, a well accomplished dancer-cum-choreographer-cum-musicologist-cum-composer-poet-cum..., overwhelmed the seasoned Bharathanatyam audience of New England by radically redefining the standards of creativity, grandiosity and technicality for Bharathanatyam Classical Dance Ballet productions, at least here in the New England area, if not all over the US.

Jeyanthi Ghatraju, Mangai Gopalan, Hema Iyengar, Sharayu Mahale, Ananya Mahalingam Dhingra, Abirami Manian, Sujatha Meyappan, Pallavi Nagesha, Anirudh Nagesha, Ira Padhye, Amudha Pazhanisamy, Vyjayanthi Prasad, Sangita Raghunathan, Harini Rajashekar,Rangapriya Rajashekar, Indra Rajashekar, Kruti Ravalya, Shachi Risbud, Poornima Risbud, Ranjani Saigal and Poornima Surya.

Dance Photos from Smt. Jothi Raghavan's Nayaki - A Poetic Journey

2009-07-21T22:32:00.000-07:00

“Nayaki” the dance production by Smt. Jothi Raghavan, a well known choreographer, dancer and dance teacher in the Greater Boston area, is based on the intense love poems of the mystic poet Thirumangai Alwar. The poems are passionate and philosophical depicting the longing of the individual soul for the union with the supreme.

Traveling from place to place, from temple to temple, Thirumangai Azhwar composed exceedingly beautiful poetry to his Divine Beloved, Vishnu/Narayana, as an expression of his love for Him. Alvar means one who is "immersed" in the experience of God, the omnipresent mysterious one. Thirumangai Alvar is the last of the 12 Alvars. The twelve Alvars flourished in south India somewhere between the fifth and ninth centuries of the first millennium. The Bhakthi movement in India got a great boost from their Tamil hymns, which are profound and spontaneous outpourings of their bhagavath anubhavam (the enjoyment of the Divine being). Their hymns add up to 4000 in number and are revered as "the sacred collect -Dhivya Prabhandham, sparking a renewal of devotional worship throughout India.

The agony and the ecstasy of Parakala Nayaki, a persona that Thirumangai azhwar assumes to express his love and longing for his beloved Narayana is the core of “ Nayaki – The dance production - A poetic journey, performed by Smt. Jothi Raghavan, a well known choreographer, dancer and dance teacher in the New England area (http://www.indianperformingarts.org).

The music for this production is composed by Rajkumar Bharathi . The research help and inspiration comes from the lectures of Velukkudi Krishnan Swamy of Chennai India.
Vocal: N. Sasidaranl; Mridangam: N. Narayanaswamy; Flute: H.S. Venugopal; Veena: Revathi Ramaswamy; Music Composed by: Rajkumar Bharathi

Please check out my complete review of the grand event, danced to perfection by the young and dynamic dancer Amudha Pazhanisamy at my event listing blog - "Creative Dance, Wedding and Event Photography in Boston - Ganesh Davuluri"

Here's an excerpt from my complete my complete review of the event at my event listing blog - "Creative Dance, Wedding and Event Photography in Boston - Ganesh Davuluri"

Where could you go with your "10-second attention span teenager" and your "deeply spiritual 70 year old parent" and get them glued together to their seats with their eyes wide open in awe for a full two hours? The spectacular Ramayana dance drama that was enacted to perfection a full house at the National Heritage Museum in Lexington, MA (a suburb of Boston) on May 31st - that’s where.

There will be no wisdom, no learning, no art, no craft, no device, nor action that is not found within natya (dance)" - sage Bharata Muni in Natya Shastra ('The Science of Dance', appr. 400 B.C.)

Vibrant and colorful ethnic costumes, glittering Indian ornaments with intricate detail, hairdos full of flowers, jingling dancing bells, traditional henna patterns, giggling teenage performers - the scene in the dressing room at the MIT Little Kresge Auditorium this past President's Day, 18th February 2008, would have been all too typical and familiar for a stray visitor conversant with any other Indian classical dance program, at least from its outwardly appearance....
