Circles of Silence...Kathak
The
Kathak Gurukul rests a ways off from the rest
of Nrityagram, somewhat reflective of this
styles distant birthplace in Northern India.
Winding flowery paths approach the Gurukul,
the strong symmetrical base of slate rock,
red brick and large door-like windows.
Mortar-less stone-filled archways are a distinguishing
characteristic of the Gurukul. Relying on
nothing more than ancient physics, the fine
silvery stones are suspended in space, frozen
in non-existent motion. They are like the
style they house, deceptively re-treading
song and percussion in its imperceptible lightening
of footwork and sinuous hand movements.
The Kathak Gurukul at Nrityagram was inaugurated
in 1994. The building is sponsored by the
Inlaks Foundation and Peter Candill, a philanthropist. |
