Odissi Dance to be performed in Dehradun from 14-18th December 2014
SPIC MACAY Dehradun is delighted to announce upcoming performance circuit of Madhvi Mudgal Ji from 14th December onwards.
Madhavi
Mudgal epitomizes the elegance and sophistication that are the result
of blending modern sensibilities with the ancient ethos of eastern India
to create the highly lyrical dance art of Odissi. Born into a family deeply
involved in propagating the classical arts, Madhavi was immersed in music
and dance from a very young age. With every opportunity to learn the arts,
Madhavi trained in Bharata Natyam and Kathak under great gurus and performed
these dance styles to acclaim. Later
she turned to Odissi which she adopted as her preferred medium. Her introduction
to Odissi took place under Guru Hare Krishna Bahera who trained her in
the fundamentals. Later she came under the tutelage of the renowned Guru
Kelucharan Mahapatra.
Madhavi's
command over the nritta or purely ornamental aspect of Odissi is striking.
Her delicate postures and strong rhythmic footwork combine in an appealing
flow of sculpturesque movements. Her subtle abhinaya (the expressional
aspect of dance), musical knowledge and aesthetic sense add to the highly
distinctive character of her recitals.
Through
teaching, performing and conducting workshops, Madhavi has been actively
involved in propagating the art of Odissi in New Delhi and other parts
of India as well as the world. She has trained a number of accomplished
students who are performers in their own right. In nineteen eighty five
she organized a seminar and festival, Angahaar, a first of its kind event
in New Delhi when gurus, scholars and dancers met to revisit the origins
of Odissi and think about the future trends of the dance form. She also
directed and produced a short audio-visual documentary that was screened
at the festival.
