Kavyanjali

Poetic movements

This is that time of the year when we dancers become poets,” says Bharatnatyam exponent Parimal Phadke as he talks about his latest presentation of poems through a Bharatanatyam dance performance titled Kavyanjali.



Parimal points out that every poet uses language in its entirety to evoke emotional or sensual responses. “So, when a dancer writes poetry s/he is bound to write poems which give full justice to the language of dance. Thus, Bharatnatyam will explore some very interesting Hindi poems which have been penned by me.”

Parimal’s poems are mostly unconventional — Saptasvara, Chanchal Ashva, except three which are conventional — Bhujanga and Dhyaan, Haasa Parihaasa. Parimal’s Hindi poems are set to Hindustani ragas by music composer Chaitanya Kunte, with vocals by Mayur Mahajan, Varsha Raman and Ajay Purkar. The recording of all the tracks was taken care by Amod Kulkarni of Magic Notes.

• An evening of visual poetry – Kavyanjali at Symbiosis Vishva Bhavan at 6.30 p.m. Free invites available at ICCR office contact: 25884194
