SAMA presents Dhara
Saturday September 22, 2007 at 7:30pm
Dance City
Temple Street
Newcastle upon Tyne, England NE1 4BR Get Directions
Dhara, features a stunning Odissi/Gotipua ensemble of seven dancers, with special choreography by Dr. Rekha Tandon. The programme has beautiful music and evocative back projections providing a unique insight into this ancient and fascinating tradition.

The Gotipua tradition has its origins in the temples of Orissa, where talented young boys were taken on as resident students at the temple. It is believed that the Odissi dance style evolved from the Gotipua tradition; indeed, most of the great masters/Gurus of Odissi are supposed to have begun life as Gotipua dancers.

Thisis a unique opportunity to watch one of the rarest performances of dance ever to be performed outside of India!
