Event Description : Vilasini Natyam Performance by Dimple Kaur
About Vilasini Natyam : Vilasini Natyam is a classical Indian Dance form which originated in Andhra Pradesh. It is an independent dance form related mainly to the Dev Dasi tradition. The Dev Dasis used to perform Vilasini Natyam in the magnificent temples. Vilasini Natyam represents the ritual, ceremonial and dance operatic legacy of this group, a section of whose last living artists have taught dancer Swapnasundari. Though Vilasini Natyam movements appear quintessentially feminine, its hundred-odd Adavus (dance-units) include the Tandava (vigorous) and Lasya (soft) aspects. Vilasini Natyam's complex Abhinaya is widely admired. Its extensive repertoire comprises Temple dances, Court dances and Dance operas of the hereditary female singer-dancers of Telugu origin.
It was part of the rich culture of India for many centuries until Britishers banned the dance from Temples in India. It was a cultural attack when all forms of Temple Dances were banned in India. To our good fortune, Vilasini Natyam was revived by Padma Bhushan Guru Swapnasundari who has been a critical figure in promoting Vilasini Natyam.
Dimple Kaur learned Vilasini Natyam under Padma Bhushan Guru Swapnasundari.
