Kathak Dance Workshop by Pt. Birju Maharaj & Sashwati Sen at Bangalore

August 7th, 2007

Pt Birju Maharaj is currently the leading exponent of the Lucknow gharana of the Kathak dance. Even though dancing is his first love, he has an excellent command over Hindustani Classical Music and is an accomplished vocalist as well. He took kathak to new heights by choreographing Kathak dance dramas where he blends movement and dramatics to unveil a surreal beauty of the subtle dance form of kathak. He is widely acclaimed not only as a performer but also as an inspiring guru, having successfully trained numerous students in India and abroad. At present besides his own events, he is actively involved in holding kathak workshops across the globe.

Pt Birju Maharaj is holding a three day workshop in Bangalore. The workshop aims at targeting dance lovers across all styles and forms to get a better understanding of Kathak dance, styles within the form, music, rhythm, tempo and the subtle nuances of presenting the dance form on the stage and how the dance form can be amalgamated and blended with different styles to unfold a story, a song or expression.

This workshop is being organized by Murari Sharan Gupta – disciple of Pt. Birju Maharaj who is carrying forward the legacy of the Lucknow gharana style of Kathak, here in Bangalore at Shankara Foundation.
