DANCE IN AND OUT: Nrithya bharath day-2

Prateeksha kashi daughter of vyjanthi kashi performed to us two items on this evening. The first item was taranga neele mega shareera, in raaga mohana set to adi tala. This composition is taken from Krishna leela tarangini. She danced on the rim of a brass plate. She used the stage very well before and after she climbed on the plate. On the plate also she managed to move in all directions.

Her second piece was Bhairavi who is mainly seen as chandi in raagamalika set to adi tala. The impact of the song was very strong so was her expressions. This item involved a lot of energy and she was up to the mark. Her anger and agression expression was strong .

Barathi divya bhushn and anjana bushan presented to us a piece in praise of lord Ganesha is raga sriranjini set to adi tala. Very bad sinchronisation, excellent foot work, smile wasn’t constant kept fading away often. Bhushan the grand son of the great film actor kalayana kumar was more stable in his postures and very good at abhinaya. But anuradha was nt that great.

Brocheva presented to us in raga kamach and set to adi tala. Bushan says “this item is very memorable to us because 7yrs back we performed the sam eitem exchanging garlands and few days later we got married. He adds everything began here as a dancing couple” audio quality was bad they looked very cute in the scene where they exchange garlands. Anurada looked extra pretty and expressed much better than the first piece. Bhushan was the same as good as the first item.

Shree krishna parijatha: presented to us by anupama mohan and troupe. A very huge dance ballet. They were lip singing the whole ballet and this is the first time im watching such a thing happening. There was a moment when all the lights went off but this never effected anupama she continued dancing. Every1 did a bit of solo and then joined one another this made the balet prolong even more. The costume and jewles were the highlight of this ballet it looked very apt and lovely. The stage utilization was just perfect they moved around every nook and corner, in all directons and angles. I just loved the part where krishna convinces satyabhama.

The last item of the day was the best and it was the kalari pyattu show. I was so eager to watch it but time dint permit me to, it was 15 min past 9 n I had to leave the auditorium at any cost. I really wish I could watch that.
