An evening of classical Bharatanatyam dance celebrating the timeless classics of Tamil poetry and its long literary tradition, Kavya Natyam will feature choreography and nattuvangam by Guru Harikrishna Kalyanasundaram and vocals by Vidya Harikrishna. Disciple and son of the renowned Guru Kalyanasundaram, Harikrishna Kalyanasundaram belongs to an illustrious lineage of seven generations of master teachers and choreographers specializing in the Tanjavur style of Bharatanatyam. Critically acclaimed as an innovative choreographer, solo classical dancer, nattuvanar and percussionist on the mridangam, he also serves as a director of the Sri Raja Rajeshwari Bharata Natya Kala Mandir in Mumbai, India - the same prestigious institution where Artistic Director Lata Pada received her Bharatanatyam training. Vidya Harikrishna is a Carnatic vocalist and is also the lead singer of the Kala Mandir. She has received accolades for her melodious voice and mastery and range of her voice. Vidya will be accompanied by Gowrishankar Balachandran on the mridangam; Anjanthie Mathanakaran on the flute and Anand Srinivasan on the violin. At the forefront of South Asian dance in Canada, Lata Pada and Sampradaya Dance Creations have been internationally recognized for forging new paradigms in Canada's dance landscape. Originally from Bangalore, India, Lata Pada has called Canada home since 1964. Trained under India's eminent gurus Kalyanasundaram Pillai and Kalanidhi Narayanan, Lata's career spans an impressive spectrum of performance, choreography, teaching and research. Her daring and innovative works include Shunya (2008), Kshetram – dancing the divine (2007), Vivarta (2005) and Howzaat! (2005). The inter-disciplinary production Revealed by Fire was named by Canada's leading dance critic Michael Crabb as the "most important dance production of 2001." For additional
