Fast with precision and clarity is the hallmark of SKR’s cascading brigaas, neravals and sangathis which added a special sheen to his Baani. ** SKR’s invaluable contribution to the world of carnatic music took the form of compositions born as his brain children. The gamut of Kriti renditions, creation of Panchama Varjitha Dvimadhyama Raagaas, Thillanas, tuning the Ashtapathis with Hindustani flavour, songs of Guru Surajanandha as also N. S. Chidambaram and so on are a veritable boon to the carnatic music fraternity. ** NTSC – ALL – English – 1 Hr. 25 Mins.

Bharatanatyam Dance DVD

Bharatanatyam Dance DVD

Shobana Bhalchandra, is the youngest of the Trio sisters of Chennai, is an accomplished and professional artiste and instructor in Bharatanatyam. She, along with her sisters, were the first and senior most disciples of Dhananjayans, and have rigorously trained under them in the widely practiced kalakshetra style. Shobana, has also had an extensive training under padmabushan Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan, especially focusing on the evocative nuances of Bharatanatyam dealing with expression. Her tutors are maestros in their relevant areas of expertise.

Having had her initiation to this dance form at a very early age, Shobana has had the benefit of performing in all the major productions of her Gurus. She together with her sisters, had her Arangetramas early as in 1978, by which time she had already participated in over 100 stage performances. And though she was proficient in academics with a Degree in Arts and an M.B.A., she decided to take up dance as a full time career, devoting it most of her time and attention. To this end, she has also undergone formal training in Classical Music and Nattuvangam to professional standards, these being integral part of the art form.

Shobana is one of the well-established artistes in the field today, part of a small group of contemporaneous peers so recognized. She has wide range teaching and performing experience in this field. She has set up her own dance institution named “Thrayee”, which now operates out of Chennai and Coimbatore in South India, having over 100 students. Her dedicated teaching has borne fruit with many of her senior disciples having performed their arangetrams themselves, and winning several awards and scholarships, apart from assisting as faculty in her classes. Several international pupils from countries such as USA, UK, Canada and Japan also learn in her school.

In addition to the teaching of theory and practice of Bharatanatyam,Shobana is also an accomplished performer and choreographer. She has given stage performances to enthusiastic response and acclaim at several prestigious forums in India and abroad. Her most recent and widely acclaimed production was a sols ballet “Meera”, set to songs from the eponymous Indian film musical classic of 1945, conceived, choreographed and performed by her to raving reviews from critics and connoisseurs alike.

A friendly person loved by her students and liked by all, shobana focusses on moulding budding talent to professional standards of excellence, while at the same time pursuing her performing interests with selected challening themes that are meticulously researched and produced. She also keeps abreast of contemporary trends, and as a consequence, is frequently invited to conduct workshops, judge talent in competitions and provide lecture demonstrations.

Karana Viniyoga Malika by Ms. Janaki, Executive Editor Sruti Magazine

About Karana Viniyoga Malika by Ms. Janaki, Executive Editor Sruti Magazine

Kudos to Smt. Sundari Santhanam and to Shatavadhani Dr. R. Ganesh for their painstaking work on Karana Viniyogas. This will serve as an important work in bridging theory and practise for students of dance as well as for the serious rasika.  Lakshana and Lakshya go hand in hand and provide sustenance to each other. The Karana Viniyoga Malika is an important link in this direction. The handy booklet which comes with the DVD is a wonderful ready reference.

The two-hour long Karana Viniyoga Malika has a crisp introduction by Dr.Ganesh. This is followed by a fine presentation of the Sthanakas, Charis and Nritta Hastas that constitute a karana. Then comes the main segment in which each karana is followed by its Viniyoga.
