Fresh recital of Bharatha Natyam

Bharatha Natyam recital of Indian Cultural Centre students took place at the Indian Cultural Centre auditorium recently. The students were trained by their Guru Subashini Pathmanathan.

The students showed their exceptional skill in this beautiful Indian classical dance form. Most of the students, who participated in the recital, were the students who completed only one year training at the centre. Different age group students participated in this program. Each student showed their own talent, ability, and their own keenness, and involvements with their able guidance of their Guru Subashini.


Students who took part in the performance

Pathmanathan is serving at the Indian Cultural Centre from its inception. The program showed her full dedication, and her own efforts and her contribution to the future generation at the centre.

Most of the students are non-Tamil speaking students. They performed for beautiful Sabtham, keerthanams, Padams, Thillans and slogans. All of the students showed maximum perfection in the pure Nirtha pieces, like Alaaripu, and jeetheswaram, meanwhile they never failed to show their ability in the abinaya, facial expressions, bava, and rasas. The program started with Ganapathy suthi a prayer song, followed by Pushpanjali, Sai Vanthanam, Slogan and Alaaripu. Then the students switched on to Jeetheswaram, Sabtham, Keerthanams on Lord Nataraja and Lord Krishna, Andal Thirupavai on Lord Krishna was an excellent piece. In addition, after the Keerthanams, three poetic songs by the great Tamil poet Subramania Barathi were performed by three different groups of students. Among those three songs, one song was about the beauty, integrity, and unity of India.

Even one Sinhala padam was performed by one of the senior student it was an enjoyable piece and revealed the rhythmic movements, and the style of interpretation of the meaning of the padam, which was excellent.

The program concluded with two different Thillanas, one was in the raga Kannada, set to Aathi thala, and other was in the Parasu raga set to Aathi thala.

Their interpretation of the songs was very meaningful and attractive. The students showed their graceful expressions and they showed firm skill in thala and laya. For most of the students this program was their maiden performance yet they performed as professional artistes, may be due to their vigorous training and their deep keen interest, and dedication to master this dance form.
