An exciting Music Festival Season started in December 2005 and continued through January 2006. I was fortunate to give four well reviewed performances and my return was greeted warmly by gurus and rasikas. I am presently finishing another series of advanced classes at Kalakshetra for post graduate students and teachers. In addition, there are classes for final year BA students. It has been a wonderfully fufilling experience. I have started to plan for the summer with more workshops and lecture demonstrations being organised in different venues.

Students and Dance Performers alike will have been gladdened to have participated in the opportunities available in Chennai during July and August 2005.

BRAGHA PROFILE: SOME DETAILS.....


    & nbsp;   &n bsp;   &nb sp;   &nbs p;     ;      


 


 Bragha is a consummate artist.  She has been a senior student of  Adyar K Lakshman and Kalanidhi Narayanan and is renowned for her abhinaya. She is the quintessential Bharata Natayam dancer, totally immersed in the art of learning and in the emotional aspects of the music she portrays. She has often played the lead roles  in her teachers' dance productions and also teaches at her guru's institute. With  many awards to her credit, she has given numerous performances in India and abroad. She has participated  in dance festivals in Chennai and has performed extensively in India, the United States, Canada and throughout Europe.  She has  made TV appearances in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Japan and on AsiaNet.  She has also conducted many workshops and lecture demonstrations. Her classes in Abhinaya, interpretation and choreography are eagerly attended by senior dancers, teachers and  students.


 


Some Press Reviews:


 


"An Experience of a Lifetime".....writes Leela Venkataraman, The Hindu.


 


"When she takes the stage, she dazzles with her superb abhinaya, intensity and brilliant portrayal, all of which make her  Bharatanatyam a jewel to be treasured.


.....an art experience which will be treasured for a lifetime......dazzled the viewer with the awesome depth and brilliant portrayal......each  moood was a revelation ".


 


"Exeptional Recital....".  The Hindu.


 


"It is called transformation.....which is what happens to both audience and the dancer when Bragha does her Bharatanatyam......The  dancer's abhinaya was superb...amazing ability to hold a moment in stillness and silence ".


 


" Her Dance....a many splendoured thing.....".     Sruti.


 


In my half a century of knowledgeable dance-viewing, I have never seen a better essaying....her exposition of the emotive content  was  slow,  sure  and absolutely riveting.


Bragha is a rare joy for dance and dancers alike.


Her concentration, constant striving for perfection.....make her dance a many splendoured thing.
