Nritya Sangam
A Fusion of Bharatnatyam and Kathak Dances
(DVD)
When two rivers meet it is called ‘Sangam’. When two styles of Indian Classical Dance come together.….. Nritya Sangam. Nritya Sangam, brings two classical dance styles; namely Kathak from the North India and Bharatanatyam from the South India on one platform. An interesting play of similarities and contrasts in musical disciplines [Hindustani and Carnatic] and dance ….. Shambhavi Vaze and Parimal Phadke explore the contrasts and similarities between the two styles. The juxtaposition becomes the forte of Nritya Sangam. Witness the magic, which Shambhavi and Parimal create on stage. Shambhavi becomes the Laasya [feminine dance] with her soft and graceful dance. Parimal is Tandava [masculine dance] with his firm and energetic dance. Both create fireworks on stage through their rhythmic ‘Sawaal Jawaab’. Timeless ….. Nritya Sangam becomes a metaphor for eternal blend of energy, form and content. After a triumphant tour of the United States in 2005, with 18 theatrical concerts, workshops and lecture demos, Shambhavi Vaze and Parimal Phadke have come up with a completely new Avatar of Nritya Sangam, a one of its kind ‘Jugalbandi’ of Kathak and Bharatanatyam dance forms. With a rare combination of masculine vigor and feminine grace, the dancers leave the audience awestruck with the blend of the two Richest Dance Styles of India. Nritya Sangam … New Avatar, has dance pieces on traditional as well as modern themes on specially conceptualized and recorded sound tracks [recorded with an orchestra of 10 musicians from Hindustani and Carnatic Style]. This two and a half hours performance offers you a wide variety of content ranging from traditional Navarasas to the fusion of Western Music and Classical Dance.
