Fine Arts takes great pleasure in formally inviting you to Sri Rama
Charitham, a theater
presentation that artfully combines multiple Indian Classical dance forms with
a live
orchestra on Sunday, July
16th at 3.30 P.M. at Westfield High School Auditorium.
Sri Rama Charitham is a presentation combining Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, Yakshagana, and Kathak in
an effort to present the epic of Ramayanam in a colorful and unique setting.
Sri. Rajendra Kedlaya, the Yakshagana artist, is a senior dancer and disciple
of Guru Bannanje Sanjeeva Suvarna. Smt. Aparna Satheesan, disciple of Guru
Dhananjayans and Smt. Vyjayanti Kashi, will be presenting Kuchipudi in this
drama, although she is expertly trained in Bharatanatyam as well. The Bharatanatyam
dance form will be presented by Kumari Jwala Rejimon, disciple of Smt. Mangala
Anand, Smt. Savithri Jagannatha Rao, and Smt. Nithya Kalyani Vaidyanathan.
Kumari Karnika Mehrotra, disciple of Smt. Anindita Sen, will be presenting the
art form of Kathak. This collaborative presentation is aimed at preserving the
essence of each dance form and portraying the unique styles in their purest classical
form.
