JONAKI
SARKAR & DANCERS GUILD (Kolkata)
“She Said,”
Contemporary Dance (Group)
| Established
in 1983 by Sangeet Natak Akademi Award winner Late Dr. Manjusri Chaki Sircar,
Dancers’ Guild has been a premier institute of contemporary dance Navanritya,
a new approach to Indian dance, in a “chemical synthesis” of traditional
Indian dance forms, yoga and martial arts. It is ‘open ended’ and
‘ever accommodative’ to new movements. “She said” is the last choreographic
creation of co-director Ranjabati Sircar and the group has decided to leave
it as ‘unfinished’ with her sudden demise in 1999. It is an innovative
approach towards exploring certain abstract images of the women’s world
– its dream, desires, pains and passions. The piece performed by eight
women dancers using the eloquence of silence, vocals and contemporary Bengali
songs is a mosaic of multiple statements that finally merge to become one
universal voice. |
