Dhrupadāngi Kathak | Parwati Dutta | Raag Shree

Dhrupadaangi Kathak by Kathak exponent Parwati Dutta on an intense yet serene Dhrupad in Raag Shree and Chautaal on the divine Goddess. Lyrics from Tulsidas's Vinay Patrika. Dhrupadaangi is the name given by Parwati Dutta to her 20-year long research and exploration with Dhrupad ancient music. The performance brings a glimpse of her research on ancient texts, references on ancient form of Kathak and long association with scholars, Dhrupad & Pakhawaj gurus; and her own search towards internalisation of the idiom. This Dhrupadaangi Kathak piece is purely an exploratory journey with Alap-Jod-Jhala-Bandish components of Dhrupad. The dance is an intuitive rendition along with the music interspersed with Pakhawaj compositions.
