D. Janardhana Sharma Technical View of Bharathanatyam (used, good condition)

 

D. Janardhana Sharma conveyed the essence of these emotions through her expressions

Grit, passion and determination seemed to triumph at Manasvini Sharma’s dance recital at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan recently, where despite a knee injury, she managed to perform to the best of her abilities.

The powerful voice of the vocalist (S.R. Veeraraghavan) and the inclusion of the keyboard, not usually seen in a Bharatanatyam recital, in the orchestra lent an edge to Bharati’s ‘Aaru Deivangal’ chosen specially (Talamalika) to suit Manasvini’s movements. Bhava was the overriding feature of the piece. It set the tone of the performance that ended with a composition that showcased the nine moods of Sita.
