59th Sawai: Bharatnatyam and Kathak Performances

I decided to sit back and enjoy these amazing performances. Hope you will pardon me for being very brief.

Sudhir Rao and performed Bharatnatyam based dances coreographed on five bhajans in Kannada, Marathi and Hindi sung by Pt. Bhimsen Joshi.

The Kathak performance 'saakaar niraakaar' was also basted on innovtive improvisation/mixing of Pt. Bhimsen Joshi's old recordings. While the dances were superbly coreographed and performed to perfection, the musical experiment deserves a special daad.
