• Event Details : ‘Laasya Anga’ - Portrayal of an aspect of Guru Mayadhar Raut’s Style. An Odissi Dance Recital by Aadya Kaktikar.
• Odissi is known for its grace and sensuality. It explores the beauty of the feminine form in all its postures. Guru Mayadhar Raut’s dance style is especially known for its sculpturesque and lyrical qualities. This evening’s repertoire includes items that highlight these creative innovations. He introduced the Shringara Rasa Ashtapadis and was also the first to introduce the Sanchari Bhava to Odissi. Aadya will elaborate on both of these through an ashtapadi from the Geet Govind.
• She will also illustrate her Guru’s extensive use of mudras and intricate use of taal and laya through an Oriya song. His style is also known for extremely lyrical and flowing movements which have a strong resemblance to the sculptures of the temples of Orissa. These have been incorporated into his dance style and portrayed in a pallavi.
