Natya Rasaprabandha - June 2015

Natya Rasaprabandha is a three-day Kuchipudi dance drama fiesta organised by Subodha Fine Arts in association with Saila Sudha Academy of Dance, under the auspices of Parthasarathy Swami Sabha. The fest is happening on the 5th, 6th and 7th of June 2015 at Narada Gana Sabha from 6.00 pm to 9.00 pm.

The ultimate living legend of the Kuchipudi dance-drama tradition, Sri Vedantam Radhesyam and his troupe from the Kuchipudi village in Andhra Pradesh will be presenting three dance-dramas, namely, Parvati Parinayam, Bhama Kalapam and Bhakta Prahaladha on the three days. 

The roots of the Kuchipudi art-form can be traced back to the Kuchipudi village in Andhra Pradesh where this art form originated. This graceful yet vigorous dance style started off as a dance-drama tradition and later transformed into the current version which remains within the frameworks of dance alone. Natya Rasaprabandha intends to bring to the masses the ethnic dance-drama tradition of the Kuchipudi art.

Sri. N Murali, the President of the Music Academy and the Co-Chairman, Kasturi & Sons Limited will inaugurate the festival on 5th June. Smt. Chitra Visweswaran, the Member Secretary, Tamil Nadu Eyal Isai Nataka Mandram will be the guest of honour on the second day and Sri Bhagavatula Seetharama Sarma, renowned musician and Director of Kalapeetam, on the third day. 

The event is a non-ticketed one and seating is based on ‘first-come first-serve’ basis. For more details, contact on +91 8056106083.
