Nritarutya's
school project
January 28,
2007
Nritarutya's innovative
choreographic project saw its success on the 13th of January where 40 students
of Iyer High School staged 4 choreographies of varied themes chosen with
care to keep with the tradition of the school. The choreographies were
received with much interest and applause.
Two choreographers
taught the children extensively for two weeks - an invocation sequence
that blended classical and contemporary forms of dance, older boys were
transformed to patriots who used properties such as a huge tri-colour flag
and different fabrics to create visually enthralling patterns. The essence
of rhythm and pure joy of movement was choreographed for the older girls.
A folk oriented sequence choreographed for the students of 6th standard
was the magic of rain on a barren land that saw symbolic properties that
is associated with rain and harvest. |
