When Blurata Natyam is performed by
Nivedita Rangnekar Saturday, Lincoln
residents will get a chance to see an
exquisite ana complicated dance torm 01
India which dates back 1 ,800 years.
Rangnekar will dance seven different
acts to taped music for her solo
performance, wliich lasts more than an
hour. The performance is sponsored by
the India Association.
Bharata Natyam. an intensely religious
and philosophical dance, is a demanding
dance to perform. It gives dancers an
unlimited potential to express their talents.
Siva, the supreme god of Saivism , and
the god of destruction and reproduction
in Hinduism, orginated the dance and
passed it on to liis son . His son passed it
on to Bharata, who expressed the natyam,
or dance, to the world.
The dance consists of 108 complicated
poses, or karanas. Many of these'are
extremely difficult to perform and require
intense training from childhood. Poise
and yoga flexibility are also needed to
perform the dance.
Each hand gesture used in the natyam
conveys a specific meaning to the audience.
