Guru Mayadhar Raut is conducting a workshop in Delhi these days to reach Gitagovinda Ashtapadis and Pallavi. As you know, Guruji is considered a maestro of Gitigovinda, which is the soul of Odissi dance.
The workshop also includes lectures by Mr.Arundhati Kotwal on make-up and costume, Mr. Kiron Pasricha on dance photography and Mrs. Vinita Faridi on media-writing.
The workshop is culminating in a dance performance by all the participating Odissi, Kathak and Bharatnatyam dancers who have come from Brazil, U.S.A. and all over India to specially participate in the workshop.
Participating dancers are Swati Subodh(Kathak), Shivakami(Bharatnatyam), Andrea from Brazil, Aadya Kaktikar, Anubhuti Chaturvedi, Neha Verma from Bangalore, Sumina Das, Mala Desai from USA, Sumedha Goenka, Sonam Samal from Pune, Amrita Lamba, Geeta Rao from Orissa and Madhumita Raut(Odissi).
Guru Mayadhar Raut will conduct a workshop in october in New Delhi to teach Gitagovinda Ashtapadi and Pallavi. The workshop is open to dancers of all classical dance styles as the special emphasis is on Abhinaya. Of course the dancers have to be well versed in their respective dance styles.
This is an unique opportunity to learn Gitagovinda Abhinaya and Pallavi directly from Guru Mayadhar Raut.
The workshop will also focus on Odissi make-up, dance photography, costume and media-writing, among other topics. We will also have an interactive session with Guru Mayadhar Raut on the renaissance of Odissi; Guruji is the only living legend of the four Gurus who resurrected Odissi in 1950s in Orissa. The teaching becomes valuable when we directly get it from the person who created what we see today as Odissi dance. There is much to know for serious dancers like what we have borrowed from the Maharis and Gotipuas, how has the form evolved, what is typical Odissi? Are we adhering to Odissi texts? Are we retaining the Odissi flavour as prescribed in our texts? As we all know, Guruji was a Gotipua dancer in his childhood and he will be 80 next year. As he has been dancing since 5 years of age, in him we have a continued history of Odissi from 1930 till today.
Sumedha Goenka, senior disciple of Guru Mayadhar Raut and Madhumita Raut, presents KRISHNA, an Odissi recital seeped in Bhakti Rasa and Shringar Rasa. The dance pieces from Gitagovinda and medieval Oriya poetry will depict the Vaishnava Bhava in Odissi dance.
