Workshop: Odissi Choreography 1, Kyoto

23.06.2018

Newcomers are welcome!!!

This Workshop is explicitly for beginners and Odissi students with basic knowledge. You will learn about the first steps of a Choreography in the classical dance style of the east coast of India, called Odissi. In future there will be following workshops to continue on further steps of the choreography.

The choreography of the dance you can start to learn in this workshop, is an introductory to the basics of Odissi dance. Next to various combinations of Chowka and Tribhanga in the beginning, the choreography portrays important details of the dancer's costume: e.g. the beautiful necklace, the sari the Gungurus (bells, which are worn on the ankles), the flowers in the dancer's hair and the make-up. Further more it depicts the instruments, which are played for Odissi Dance: the Vina (indian string instrument with two big resonating bodies made from pumpkins, see picture below), the cymbals, the flute and the drum.
