Kathak by Shivani Dave and Group
The North Indian Classical dance, Kathak, originated as the art of stoyrtelling. The word Kathak is derived from “katha” meaning story; hence, “Kathakas” refers to stories which are depicted through dance. Kathak is now regarded as a sophisticated art form which requires the performer’s virtuousity to encompass three main elements: Bhava-mood, Raag-melody, and Taal-rhythm. Instrumental Segment will be by Mrs. Varada Iruvanti. Mrs. Iruvanti will play the ancient Indian string instrument, Veera. It will be a mix of classical and light style.
Snacks and beverages will be served.
