It offered the viewer a glimpse of the evolution of Kathak dance throughout India's historical eras. Starting from the temple period, through the royal courts of the kings and the emperors, to today's proscenium stages! The word Kathak is derived from the Sanskrit word Katha, meaning "a story." Rhythmic footwork, fast pirouettes, and complex movements characterize this graceful spontaneous dance. The form has its origin in the narrative tradition of the village minstrel, the 'Kathakars', who sang songs of heroic tales and dramatized their lyrics with subtle gestures and expressions. Around the 16th century AD, the art came from the temples to the royal courts, where it acquired secular elements of sophistication, especially in its pure dance passages. It also represented a unique synthesis of both Hindu and Muslim cultures, blessing Kathak with a unique balance of approach that makes it the most natural of all Indian classical dance forms. 106336 80000 12300 Spring season concert (April 2023): KDT Company dancers and apprentices performed 'Kathak E-motion' at KDT Spring Season show, a run of 3 shows at Park Square Theater in St. Paul, MN. With this production, director/choreographer Rita Mustaphi created a classic Kathak work in the vein of those performed for kings and emperors in 18th century India. Kathak E-motion embodies the grandiosity and opulence of Hindu and Islamic royal courts while also exemplifying the art form's integral expression of emotions, known as Abhinya. Using Kathak's complex rhythms, intricate footwork, graceful movements, pirouettes and gestural storytelling, KDT's professional Kathak dancers recounted ancient tales of gods and goddesses, depict stories of love, as well as perform abstract, purely expressive dances. 600 (approx.) attended the show 7900 0 6500 Sadhana - After a year long learning of Kathak dance, an annual performance of the KDT students was held in Hopkins High School, Hopkins, MN.
