Nrityanjali – Reviving Indian Culture – is the first in the series. The word ‘nritya’ meaning the portrayal of mood through

facial expressions, hand gestures, and position of the legs and feet and ‘anjali’ meaning offering or submission.

India is a land where thousands of year old tradition of fine arts, classical and folk music and dances has originated. Through this

competition, DIDC will render homage to the Indian classical and folk dance forms and will at the same time revive the culture and

tradition of India in the mind and hearts of the new generation.

Indian Classical:

Some of the world-famous classical dance forms that originated and evolved in India are Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Kathakali,

Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniattam and Odissi. The Classical Dance Competition is open to both Groups and Individuals.

Performances where only individual performances will be judged on age divisions listed below:

Junior: 5 to 14 years Senior: 15 years and above

Folk Dance:

Indian folk dances, including the various tribal dance forms, are product of different socio-economic set up and traditions. Indian

folk and tribal dances are simple and are performed to express joy. India has festivals and celebrations virtually every day which

adds to the richness of the Indian culture. Since every festival is accompanied by celebration, folk dances have become an integral

part of our social milieu. Listed below, but not limited to, are folk and tribal dances from various parts of India.

Guru Nandini Singh

Born on 7th June 1952, Nimmi was initiated into the magic world of dance by her mother

Late Janaki Devi, who herself was a singer of some repute. Nandini was fortunate enough

to be sculpted by great Guru’s of kathak, Guru Hiralal, Guru Ganeshi Hiralal and Pt.

Sunder Prasad. These kathak maestros helped her in getting the finest nuances in this

dance form.

At Smt. Niana Devi’s Raag Rang conference, where Ustd. Bade Ghulam Ali Khan,

Ustd. Hafiz Ali Khan, Badi Moti Bai performed, Nandini, with her debut performance

delighted the audience. Her whirlwind brhamaris, sharp and neat tihaees, difficult

chakradhars and other episodes prevalent commonly in Kathak form, were far beyond

expectations from a teenager. By fifteen she was already an accomplished dancer. In late

60’s itself, she had carved a niche for herself in kathak, blossoming into one of the finest new

generation kathak dancers as Nandini. Further, in her persuit for perfection, she got

associated with Pt. Devi Lal, and Durga Lal, who brought along added enhancements in her

dance.

Shri Dominique Delorme

An internationally acclaimed dancer and choreographer in Indian dance whose productions

have travelled throughout Western and Eastern Europe, the USA, South-East Asia, South

America and the Caribians.

A soul-searching trip to India in 1983 sparked Dominique’s interest in the people and

culture of India. On his return to France in 1985, he started learning Bharatanatyam from

Malavika (a Paris based Bharatanatyam dancer). In 1987, with a scholarship from the

French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the ICCR-Indian Council for Cultural Relations,

he pursued his advanced training under V.S. Muthuswamy Pillai in Madras.

Simultaneously, he received training in ‘nrtya’ from Kalanidhi Narayanan and Anuradha

Jagannathan, in Carnatic vocal music from Sulochana Pattabiraman and in

nattuvangam from Kamala Rani of Kalakshetra. He also studied Tamil at the Madras

Institute for Asian Studies. In 1989, Dominique started working under Dr. Padma

Subrahmanyam on the Natyashastra.

In 2000, he was awarded the prestigious ‘Villa Medicis Hors Les Murs’ and the ‘Romain Rolland’ fellowships by the French

government to continue his research on Natyashastra.

Shri Dominique Delorme Contd.

Following his Arangetram in 1990, Dominique continued to perform solo throughout India, Malaysia, Singapore, Western and Eastern

Europe, West Indies and the US. He played Narada in ‘Krishnam Vande Jagathgurum’ choreographed by Sudharani Raghupathy and

Siva in ‘Natya Shastra Avataranam’ by Padma Subrahmanyam. His first solo production ‘Nandanar’ toured India and Europe and

received critical acclaim and became his masterpiece. He continued his creative efforts with ‘Seeds of Light’ (1991) with Shakuntala and

‘Skin Deep’ (1995-96) in collaboration with Kalpana, both French Bharatanatyam dancers. ‘Dance with the Gods!’ (1997), “The

dancer and his soul” (2006) and ‘Ardhanareeswara’ (2002) with Malavika were productions staged by Nita Klein that have also toured

Europe and India.

Dominique along with a Tango, contemporary, hip-hop and West Indian slave dancer made up ‘The Migrators’ who explored a poem by

Damas, a West Indian poet in their own dance vocabulary. The production titled ‘Black Label’ and staged by Janie Jérémie toured France,

West Indies and South America from 1999 to 2002. His solo productions ‘Karana’(2003) and ‘Shiva, the lord of sleep’(2007) inspired

from his research on the dance sculptures of ancient India are acclaimed throughout Europe and the USA. They have created deep

interest in the revival of dance, theater and martial arts techniques which had been lost for centuries. He has choreographed several

group choreographies such as “Ganga” (2005) for the Arpana dance company in the USA in collaboration with Pandit Birju Maharaj

and Saswati Sen, “Gods’ dance”(2004) and ”Shiva, the creation of rythms, sounds and languages” (2005) with his own company

in France.

As he continues performing, he regularly conducts conferences, classes, workshops, Natya Shastra camps and group choreographies in

France, Germany, Switzerland and the USA. He is a member of the scholarships’ panel for the French ministry for foreign affairs, offering

new generations of dancers and musicians to pursue their training in India in collaboration with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations.
