Embark on a dynamic journey of rhythm and movement, celebrating the cycles of life through the artistry of Uma Dogra.
Drawing from the essence of gati — the concepts of movement and time — this performance beautifully intertwines laya (tempo) and taala (rhythm) to honour life’s cyclical nature. Through the grace of Kathak, it explores the dynamic interplay of rhythm and movement, vividly portraying avartana (the cyclical flow of time).
The performance unfolds as a vibrant bouquet of compositions, inviting audiences to experience Kathak as a celebration of rhythm, expression, and life itself. With over five decades of dedication to her craft, Uma Dogra, a senior disciple of Pt. Durga Lal ji, has captivated global audiences and earned prestigious accolades, including the Sangeet Natak Akademi Puraskar, for her exceptional contributions to Indian classical dance.
The dancers, under the guidance of the acclaimed Uma Dogra, skillfully navigate various taals, interpreting intricate beats, tempos, and speeds to reveal the nuanced beauty of this classical art form. Don’t miss this captivating performance!
