Pallavi With Stillness
Sparsh Studio for Performing Arts
March 1, 2019 - Friday
ICCR Satyajit Ray Auditorium, Kolkata
Each choreography in the Pallavi series has had its unique focus.
In Pallavi and Space the first performance of the series, the choreography highlighted the primacy of the chowk in odissi — the first position, embodying the dancer’s concentrated consciousness and availability to execute any movement in the
classical repertoire.
Pallavi in Time in spotlighted the tribhang (tri-bent) standing stance,
characteristic of both odissi and Hindu temple sculpture. The aim: to elaborate the delicate, delight of the dancer’s body cutting into time, marked by rhythm, the beat of a song or reverberation footfalls.
In Pallavi with Stillness Raka’s choreography works to deconstruct odissi grammar by first isolating and then accenting torso movements—a stunning, mesmerising feature of the dance’s repertoire. As in all previous iterations, the choreography is original, bold and utterly of the dancer’s skill, technique and commitment.
