For the first time, Bhopalites will witness rare combination of dhrupad with African Djembe in Kathak. The classical dance exponent V Anuradha Singh is better known for her innovation with the traditional classical dance.
Her style of innovating music and dance keeping the traditional value intact is commendable across the globe. Whether, it is Sufi in Kathak or non-stop chakras on patriotic songs, Singh has never felt bored of experimenting new ragas and styles. For the first time she has come up with a rarest combination of music from two different poles of the world.
She has combined African music with traditional Indian Classical music. She will be performing her new innovation of African Djembe and Dhrupad on Friday at Samanvay Bhavan. She will be performing under the event organised by International Performing Arts Festival (IPAF).
Anuradha hails from Bhopal and is noted Kathak dancer for her innovation and improvisation in traditional Kathak technique. Experimenting with classical Sufi Kathak, she has evolved a refined, sophisticated style in pure classical form, based on fast speeds, swift turns, mind thrilling footwork, delicacy of movements and impressive expressions.
She is one of well-known dancers of solo classical Kathak dance. With enchanting stage presence she has earned acclamation for intense and sensitive dance presentations.
She has also performed solo Kathak internationally in addition to more than 45 prestigious Government organised festivals in India and has also given across the world. Recently, she also gave a heart melting performance at international festivals which was much appreciated.
It will be a delightful performance for the classical dance enthusiasts too.
