Odissi, Manipuri, Mayurbhanj & Seraikella Chhau by both Sharon and vintage archival videos of legendary artists of several genres, including Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, Pt Birju Maharaj, Lakshmi Viswanathan, and other masters.
There are Introductory programs interviews, TEDx talks introducing Indian cultural themes to children and adults, academics and rasikas.
As I go through old DVDs from earlier video and film recordings, I upload to share. Video quality is therefore not HD, but there are rare recordings not available elsewhere.

Taranga Pallavi Pallavi is a lyrical elaboration of rhythmic, melodic and movement themes. It is considered the most graceful and lyrical form of "pure" or abstract dance in the Odissi repertoire. Taranga Pallavi conveys the undercurrent mood of waves on the sea as the unique torso movements of Odissi flow throughout the dance like water breaking on the shore Raga: Bilahari Tala: Odissi 4 beat ...

So exquisite
Thank you. I created this for a performance in thiruvanathapuram decades ago and love seeing my disciples perform this meditative choreography
I appreciate the cultural dance you just did, ❤ om namoh jagganatham💝

How graceful !
thank you for your kind comment
🙏🙏❤
How odissi beginners can learn Mardala syllables including with the basic dance steps? Do you feel the basic grammar needs to increase more and develop according to various taala? Do you feel that more grammatical codes should add with the dance posture and our regular book concept? It’s my humble request to you to kindly discuss more things accordingly. With Regards
Yes I also think that teachers should be teaching Mardala ukuta as well
the additional dance grammar has been expanded by the gurus and scholars at the odissi research centre. see the 2 pathfinder books for some. the additional mudras of odissi were compiled but not published but i have taught them in workshops. you should learn the mardala bols for everything you learn and my student Vishwanath Mangaraj is as expert in mardala as he is in dance and can also teach clearly all the talas, bols as well as dance. you might like to contact him as he gives online classes 9no classes in july as we are both traveling after our 3 consecutive 10 day june workshops) vnathmangaraj@gmail.com or whatsapp at +919716534748
@@SharonLowen1that means I need to learn the syllables separately from Mardala teacher. Why the syllables are not compact with the dance steps which can learn during the basic dance steps only?
Please keep sharing such seminars and festival videos.. very much helpful for young dancers like us
Can I ask in what way did the information in the seminar help you?
@@1nilu1 See I am Odissi learner.. so Whenever I geta any chance of knowing what's happening in the world of Odissi.. I seek such seminars and podcasts.. and there is barely anyone... I helped knowing the dance form's condition in a better way.. what are trends in the field of Odissi and obviously there are many stories of the past associated with these seminars as well right? Like how gurus taught.. etc etc. and I came to know about Chhau's history as well Mayurbhanj Saraikela.. Odishan Paika traditional dance emerging as chau.. and many things about Bhartanatyam as well !!
@@sabitapanigrahi1197 I am also an Odissi dancer and the information here and what u learnt is very basic and is available on many other youtube channels and across the internet. I am actually frustrated listening repeatedly to these academics who just want to speak about the outskirts of the art without actually improving or evolving it. I want to see innovations and ground breaking choreographies form gurus and professionals but all I see are these people talking into a mic without anything of substance at all, just want the limelight of an audience and camera and lecture. Whats the point? Odissi is a dying art form and holding talks and lectures is not going to revive it, we need real artists and creatives who can revolutionise this space and physically and practically take it to an international level. It needs to grow from the branches not from the roots
@@1nilu1 and you should search Odissi seminar and you'll get a few to watch which are actually very interesting!! And in seminars they don't teach or perform choreographies.. they talk on stuff
@@1nilu1 well well it's a seminar for a reason and they ain't perform in seminars rather talk on things and obviously there are audience from everywhere who may or may not the basics about Odissi so obviously they'll talk on it
Excellent performance and choreography .God bless

Mam am a big dan of you since i watched swarnakamalam.am.a great fan of ventatesh
Thank you. VEnki was a delight to get acquainted with during the shooting and he has gone on from success to success as a lovely person
It's really very beautiful one.Background music is also very good 💯.Who was the singer?.
The singer was most likely part of the Triveni Ballet, New Delhi troupe of Guru Singajit Singh in 1974 or 75 when I recorded what I had been taught
Many many thanks my dear sister for the video. Very very important and rare documentary regarding seraikella chhau. You are lucky. I remember I also learn chhau from Late ustad Bikram Kumbhakar ji. My Naman and love to all guru's 🙏❤ and my great salute to legend gurus Late ustad Bikram Kumbhakar ji and Padmashree Late Guru Kedar Nath Sahoo. I have some few paper's of this seminar.
I have audio cassette recordings, but have never properly transcribed and translated. I would be grateful if you could help identify the gurus and what they are demonstrating and why as far as you can tell from the video. it is a rare documentary. I specially only included all the Seraikella stalwarts and not any of the Delhi dance scholars as I wanted them to share what they agreed and disagreed upon iwthout outside opinions shaping the discussions.
please share the papers that you have when convenient

Dear Sharon, what an amazing video and yes nothing has changed in these 50 years - all over the world it is still the same story! I am also a Odissi dancer, have met you a couple of times in Delhi, but briefly, so not sure if you remember me. So glad to have seen this video and to be in touch with you , have always admired you and hopefully whenever I can visit Delhi again I will certainly get in touch. Sending you lots of love and warm wishes. Sheema Kermani
I do remember you quite well actually. Love to meet if you get to Delhi.
