About the Programme


Let us bring to life the eternal bond between Lord Krishna and Radha through an age old classic Kanha Main Tose Haari...
Let's delve into the magical world of our young and radiant Radha. Tell her side of the story using three arms of Kathak.
*Kavitt: poetic lines set to a specific taal or rhythm
*Thumri: expressions of the artist that bring the lyrics to life
*Gat-bhav: a stylized manner of presenting the narrative on instrumental music only.

This workshop with Guru Pali Chandra aims to capture the mystique of Kathak for all participants. Two-days of intense sessions with the Guru await all enthusiasts. Learn the storytelling techniques, performance-related pointers and the nuances of this choreography. An exclusive 3-minute soundtrack is also available.

Kathak has evolved with time, and yet the artform's original emotions remain unchanged over centuries of its existence. As storytellers, artists use and interpret traditional techniques to convey complex narratives to the masses. This effort helps to create bridges across cultures and linguistic differences.

NatyaSutra is an attempt to permanently preserve the rich art and cultural heritage of India. Our dream is to provide 24/7 online access to personalized lectures, tutorials, classes, and performances of all Indian art and culture.
