Odissi: 2000 years of history:
Probably the oldest surviving dance based on archaeological evidence, Odissi traces back to the golden rule of King Kharavela (2nd century BC). The flowing movements and graceful poses of the dance bring to mind the breathtaking beauty of Orissa's (a State in India) temple sculptures. Odissi blends tandava and lasya (masculine and feminine energies) through fluid hand, eye and torso movements and exciting rhythmic footwork. The dance tries to capture emotions of love and passion while keeping the performance soft and lyrical. Odissi has a very distinct style and uses a series of bhangis or poses. The fluid, graceful movements are punctuated by moments of stillness when the dancer poses as if she were a sculpture. These poses have their roots in yoga.
Odissi Dancer Nilanjana Banerjee:
Nilanjana took her first steps toward a lifelong journey in Odissi under the tutelage of the renowned Odissi revivalist, Guru Mayadhar Raut in India. She learnt Bharatnatyam for a few years at Bhatkhande Hindustani Sangeet Mahavidhalaya. Over the last few years, Nilanjana has been performing Odissi extensively in the United States.
