Tajuk:Evocations
Sinopsis Item / Nota Program:

Evocations evoke the pulse of Odissi through its component elements: tribal, folk, sabda (traditional verses cited in declamatory fashion) and the percussion (ghanta/cymbal and mardala/drum) traditions. It is these essential elements which ontribute to the present ‘re-constructed’ contemporary Odissi repertoire. Evocations, a result of Sharmila’s extensive research in the inter-disciplinary contribution of the above elements to Odissi, project their creative roles in the formation of contemporary Odissi repertoire. Evocations also remind us of the vital and rick folk traditions of dance and drumming of Orissa.

Tajuk:Pallavan
Sinopsis Item / Nota Program:

Pallavan is a composition of Madhavi Mudgal, one of India’s celebrated Odissi dancers and dance makers. Pallavan is mainly a pure dance that celebrates the architectonics of Odissi through the vehicle of the female body. Basic stances and postures of the square chowka and the tribhanga, the three bends of head, torso and hip, combines to form a dignified composite movement through a regulated rhythmic structure, providing a framework around which an efflorescence or pallavan can take place. Five basic rhythmic structures or jatis comprising 9, 7, 5, 4 and 3 beats, each of which yields its characteristic form, is visualized in this item.
