Soorya Dance and Music Festival on April 17

MUSCAT — Soorya Stage and Film Society is presenting its first programme of the year, Soorya Dance and Music Festival, at the Le Grand Hall of Al Falaj Hotel, on April 17. The programme is brought to Oman by Al Falaj Hotel in association with Oman UAE Exchange Centre.

This time the public will be blessed with an opportunity to experience a unique and innovative combination of two of the world’s richest dance art forms — Bharatanatyam and Sufi Kathak. This will be a very rare, perhaps, once in a life time opportunity exploring the natya, bhava and abhinaya of Bharatanatyam and experiencing the sublime movements of Sufi Kathak with its richly poetic beauty of Sufi poems. These mesmerising moments will be brought to the community by two of India’s topmost dancer-choreographers — Priyadarshini Govind in Bharatanatyam and Manjari Chaturvedi in Sufi Kathak.

After her arangettam in 1974 under the auspices of the Mylapore Fine Arts Club, Chennai, Priyadarshini Govind has been performing in all the major centres in India.
Manjari Chaturvedi, classical Kathak danseuse and a performing artiste for over a decade, is an extraordinary young dancer, adding subtle innovations to the Kathak repertoire while preserving the tenets of the classical style.
