  • A young Bengali Hindu Indian girl begins her dance performance with an invocation using the poetry of a now dead Muslim Bangladeshi poet. Such are the syncretic traditions of the music and dance of the subcontinent. This piece has been chosen and choreographed by the dancer herself as part of her traditional classical Odissi dance performance. She will also interpret a pallavi (pure dance) and an abhinaya (interpretative piece) composed by the world famous Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra. She has also composed an original item interpreting a champu based on an Oriya song by Baladev Rath. The champu is an unusual poetic structure based on a raga using an appropriate rhythm in which a poem has been composed using one letter of the alphabet and each word of the poem uses only that one letter.
  • Sunanda has been learning Odissi since the age of 8 from Guru Madhavi Mudgal. She is an Arts graduate from Delhi University as well as a graduate in Odissi dance from Gandharva Mahavidyala. She has performed at the Uday Shankar Ballet Festival in Jaipur, Qutab Festival in Delhi and the Konarak Festival in Bhuvaneshwar. She is a graded artist of Doordarshan.
