"A spectacular Kathak performance exploring tradition to modernity in all richness and grace."

The New Indian Express, Thiruvanathapuram

January 2007

Kathak, the classical dance from north India is known for its precise and scintillating pure dance, elegant and subtle grace, and nuanced expressional pieces. The form has also responded exceptionally well to various experiements and interactions. Vaichitra presents Kathak in all this range, richness and innovation.

The selection embraces the gamut including pieces from the traditional Kathak repertoire, innovative and experimental numbers choreographed to a variety of music genres and interacting with a range of other artistic media such as film and visual design, and extracts from Ranan’s acclaimed Kathak productions.

The performance of Vaichitra in Delhi will include excerpts from Ranan's productions, Shunya Se and Rangeeniyan.

The Choreography Festival of DIAF features two groups every evening. Ranan is slotted second on 8 December, and we expect to start our performance around 6.45pm
