Music and dance reviewsTalentedyoungdancer

Young dancer SamhithaSampath gave aBharathanatya recital

under the Every Friday Cul-tural Evening Programme.Samhitha was initiated toBharathanatya by Kannam-ma, B Tanujaraj, SanthoshiSimha and she has been con-tinuing her training underVandya Srinath of BrahmharaSchool of Music and Dance.Samhitha is a rank holder inInformation Science and En-gineering and has already per-formed in a few cities.

With this good backgroundSamhitha Sampath openedher programme with a slokaon Ganesha. In the Anna-machar’s Pada, a few “Leelas”of Vishnu were presented inthe ‘sanchari.’The piece de re-sistance was the Todi padavarna “AnandaNatashekhara.”Her abhinayain the jawadi “BaarenyathakePriyanu”was also a pleasantone and concluded with aMadhuvanthi thillana. The el-egance in her stance is appre-ciable and her career is worth

watching. She had good sup-port from a team of experi-enced musicians: natuvangaby Guru Vandya Srinath, vocalby Nanda Kumar, mridangaby Janardhana Rao and fluteby H S Venugopal.

TributestoKittappaPillaiKittappa Pillai, doyen ofBharathanatya, hailed from adistinguished family of artistes- Tanjore Quartet. He was theson of the famous NatuvanarPonnaiah Pillai and Pandanal-lur Meenakshi Sundaram Pil-lai was his grandfather. Hewas the torchbearer of thathallowed tradition and nowonder some of the celebritiesof today are his disciples. DrVyjayanthimala Bali, HemaMalini, Sudha Rani, Narmadaand Padmini Rao - are some ofhis students. He moved toBengaluru in the late fiftiesand trained a number of stu-dents. He is a recipient of sev-eral awards like state and cen-tral Academies and KalidasSamman. In his memory, thePonnaiah Lalithakala Acade-my conducts a “Yuva Nrityoth-sava”every year.

In this year’s festival, therewere seven programmes byeight young students, all disci-ples of different Gurus.Archana and Chethana, whogave the inaugural recital, arestudents of Nrityakala Mandi-ra (B Bhanumathi and SheelaChandrasekhar) and have per-formed in a few organisations,both in and outside the state.They saluted to invocatoryGod through “Sri Mahaganap-athi Rava Thumam”in theraga Gowla. The varna “Mo-hamana”in the raga Bhairaviis a tested piece and twin sis-ters performed it with easeand assurance. “Kanjada Lay-

atakshi”(Muthuswami Dikshi-tar and raga Kamala-manohari) is a popular compo-sition in the music concertsalso, while the “Yen Palli”ofArunachala Kavi was on SriRanganatha of Srirangam.They were well supported byPrasanna Kumar (Natuvanga),D S Srivatsa (vocal), NarayanaSwamy (mridanga), and Ma-hesh Swamy (flute). Archanaand Chethana - have good fu-ture in the years to come.

GoodtrainingSushmitha H S, who per-formed on Wednesday is a stu-dent of Dr Soundarya Srivath-sa and has passed Vidwatexamination. She has also

completed Rangapravesha.“Varvallabha Ramana”of G NB (Hamsadhwani) gaveSushmitha a good start. Tan-jore Quartet's another varna“Sami Nee,”in the raga Ka-mach, was her main piece ofthe programme. Her portrayalof the “VirahothkhandithaNayika”was pleasing andproof of her good training. Shealso chose a devaranama (Ella-di Bandayo Rangaiah of Pu-randara Dasa) and a thillana inthe raga Valachi (Dwaraki Kr-ishnaswamy). With somemore higher trainingSushmitha has a bright future.

Dr Soundarya Srivatsa(Natuvanga), D S Srivatsa (vo-cal), Lingaraju (mridanga) andJayaram (flute) gave inspiringsupport from the wings.

SeminaronKuchipudiThe Shambhavi School ofDance conducted the fourthedition of Nayika - KuchipudiSeminar. Five eminentKuchipudi dancers spoke onthe styles of their Guru, train-ing method, special features oftheir school. Problems and dif-ficulties faced by them duringtheir training were also ex-plained well. Their demonstra-tions helped young aspirantsto grasp the nuances and spe-cialities of their schools.Sumathi Kaushal (USA),Smitha Sastri (Aurangabad),Bala Kondala Rao (Visakhap-atnam), Usha Gayathri (Hy-derabad) and Vyjayanthi Kashi(Bengaluru) - demonstratedAsta Padi, Bhama Kalapa,Sathyabhama RukminiPrasanga and Urvashi - whichhelped for an in-depth study. Itwas an interesting study, full ofinformation and a guidinglamp for the dance students.Mysore V Subramanya

BENGALURU: Soon, Ban-nerghatta National Park(BNP) will have a dedicatedweather station and a re-search centre to know theimpact of climate changeand commercialisation onthe forest patch closest toBengaluru city.

BNP has teamed up withEnvironmental Managementand Policy Research Institute(Empri) to set up a preserva-tion plot on one acre of landin the national park. The pur-pose of the study is to under-stand the effects of climatechange on forests.

Empri is a nodal agency toassess climate change and anautonomous organisation un-der the state Forest depart-ment.

This is for the first time thatsuch a study is being conduct-ed at BNP. Indian Institute ofScience will conduct a similar

study in a forest patch inMudumalai.

“The study will help in un-derstanding the impact of in-creasing commercialisation,mining and human interfer-ence, which is rampantaround the fragmented forestpatch,’’ Javed Akhtar, BNP di-rector, told DH. The cost of theproject has not yet been fi-nalised.

The study, spread over 20years, will record changes onthe chosen barricaded plot.The plot will be kept free fromhuman interference. A teamof researchers from Empriand BNP will visit the spot atregular intervals and takereadings. They will study theimpact of climate change onnatural habitat, soil conditionand medicinal plants. A weath-er panel, measuring 20x20 sqft will also be set up for regularweather readings.

O K Ramadevi, consultantand head of Centre for ClimateChange at Empri, clarified

that there will be minimaldamage to the existing forestpatch and tree cover. “We arenot constructing any build-ings. The research plot will beundisturbed, except for aweather monitoring system,’’she said.

“We have partnered withthem since no forest land canbe given to any organisation.The study also will help BNPto know the threats and pre-pare for the future,” saidAkhtar.

Since the landscape of BNPis variable and undulating,Empri had proposed to haveresearch plots in two locations.But the forest officials havetold them to choose one loca-tion which has a combinationof scrub and dry deciduousforest patch, from the identi-fied two plots. Based on thesuccess of this study, the For-est department is planning toset up more such centres inother forest patches also.DH News Service

BENGALURU: Scores of Ben-galureans had gathered atSt Joseph’s College to watchthe movie ‘Amaravathi’.

The movie was screenedfor the first time in a non-commercial set up to raiseawareness about the plight ofmanual scavengers in the cos-mopolitan city.

The main aim of thescreening was to raise fundsfor the family of the threeworkers who were choked todeath while cleaning a man-hole in C V Raman Nagar onMarch 7.

“Though entry to themovie was free, everybodywho watched the movie con-tributed some money to thefamilies of the deceased.We are not doing this formoney, but to raise aware-ness among people againstthe present system and tourge the government to stopmanual scavenging,” saidGiriraj B M, director of ‘Ama-ravathi’.

The movie is also a tributeto Dantha Yarrayya (35),Kore Anjaneya Reddy (34)and Tatta Thavitayya (28)who had entered a 12-footdeep live manhole to clean it.

They were hired by a con-tractor who had undertakenthe work of laying the linesbetween KR Puram and Kad-abeesanahalli and cleaningthe manholes along thestretch.

The movie was an eye-opener for many who had notwatched it when it had hit thescreens after its commercialrelease on February 12.Though the movie was notwell appreciated at the boxoffice, it received a lot of criti-cal acclaim. The movie hasbeen screened to differentsections of society like humanrights activists and women’sorganisations.

“When the movie was re-leased, we had organised thescreening for 500pourakarmikas and it

was well received,” Girirajsaid.

Giriraj and producer Mad-hava Reddy have been gettingmany requests to screen themovie again in mainstreamcommercial theatres, butthe makers are not interest-ed. They said that they arenow keen to showcase it tocertain sections of society andeffect a change in the atti-tudes of people and the waythe government systemworks.

The movie shows the life ofthe manual scavengers andpourakarmikas who are ha-rassed by contractors andwhat they go through to earntheir livelihood. The moviealso showcases how thelabourers are treated as so-cial outcasts. The filmwas given an ‘A’ certificate bythe censor board before itsscreening because of the useof abusive language in thefilm.DH News Service
