Over 40 dancers trained at Natya Vriksha will perform at the two- day event ‘Dharohar 2023’. Many of the dancers will make their debut on stage during the event.
On both evenings Padma Shri awardee Geeta Chandran will conduct the proceedings on nattuvangam. Other supporting artists are: Venkateshwaran Kuppuswamy (Vocal), Manohar Balatchandirane (Mridangam), Varun Rajasekharan (Ghatam) and G. Raghavendra Prasath (Violin)
According to Chandran, “Bharatanatyam being a classical dance form, it is imperative that students get the feel of the stage, of a live audience and of performance. Plus, in our nation’s context, students, predominantly from North India learning a South Indian art form, also have invaluable context for nation-building and a one-nation, one-community feeling. Hence, Dharohar is an important event in the lives of disciples at Natya Vriksha.”
There will also be Shloka recitation by Aaria Ambani Shanker, Ameya Gopal, Anandita Nair Biswas, Anushka Shivkumar Iyer, Apnavi Dhandia, Avisha Sundaram, Dakshita Venkat, Diya Jain Srivastava, Ira Rosa, Jaseri Priya Mishra, Maanini Sehgal, Meenakshi, Mishka Gupta, Mrinmayee Singh, Ojasvini Upadhye, Samyukthaa Vidyashankar Iyer, Shelin Raj, Sanchita Buragohain, Vivikthaa Vidyashankar Iyer.
