Dear Friends,
Sutra dancers speak of their excitement of dancing soon, as the season of Jaya Ram with live music, is in the offing.
Guru Gajendra Panda had taught them the essential composition and now the dancers have almost finished working on the new repertoires, which have been deconstructed and reconstructed again, in their usual style, by the Sutra Collectives.
The premiere of Jaya Ram presents Rama as a unified concept from the standpoint of odissi presentation.Jaya Ram is not a dance-drama but conceived within the format of odissi repertoire. It should be appreciated as rekindling of collages of poignant episodes related to Rama, Hero of the Ramayana, within the matrix of odissi repertoire.
The dancers have been working hard and they are excited to share with their audiences some amazing new ideas that will stir ‘rasa’ of nostalgia of this wonderful Epic.
