 Dear Rasikas,

I do appreciate your views and respect them. But I also honour the dancer and her experiments, in fact I saw similar done by a famous dancer with composer Bach and heard the explanation: Everything can be done in Bharata Natyam. So I guess this classical fusion migth be in a stage of development and improved choreography could give a more comforting result. On the other hand to me it is an experiment in sa-grama or sadhja yati, as mentioned in the shastra and since
music is universal this is not ras bhasa and its within our taste if we like it or not. It could be argued equally that the beautiful indian dance performed to the out-of-tune indian scales is against aestethic values? I think we are trained to like and dislike certain things, but viewed on an absolute plane there are no such distinction. Hopefully I am not wrong?
