“Kathak: The Poetry of Movement“
Kathak, one of the eight classical dance forms of India, is a mesmerizing blend of rhythm, storytelling, and graceful movement. Originating from the ancient tradition of temple storytellers known as kathakars, this dance evolved through royal courts, absorbing influences that gave it its signature spins (chakkars), footwork (tatkaar), and expressive gestures (abhinaya). With every stamp of the feet and swirl of the hand, Kathak breathes life into mythological tales, devotional themes, and poetic narratives. Today, it continues to thrive as both a traditional and contemporary art form, captivating audiences around the world with its timeless beauty and emotive power.
