[madhandagr8]

Is this smt.rukumini's original choreo or has it been modified to be performed in a group? because i feel the abhinayam portions have not been handled the way they have to be.. No proper sanchari as such! am i right? correct me if i'm wrong

[ardhanariswar]

It is RDA's choreo, but they're all performing it on stage together simultaneously. At some points they do take turns with the sancharis and switch off to give more variation. But its very straight up and unmodified.

I don't think RDA's choreo included the 'acting out' scenes if thats what you're asking. There's no dance drama acting in this style. Just straight up 'kai's or hands.

[madhandagr8]

oh oh i see!! :) i didn't know this.. :)

[pratyagatchaami]

@madhandagr8 Sanchari just means moving around. Sancharis are present in first part of the video, just that they are wrapped up in one line dilineating the vakyartha crisply. Each line in pallavi and anupallavi1 are done first in padartha and then it shifts to vakyartha sanchari. Sancharis enacting a scene have become so fashionable.This varnam is a standing example for the concept of using vakyartha sanchari.

[madhandagr8]

@pratyagatchaami thanks for explaining..! as u said by sanchari meant the story enacting ones..! and many people call them "kais"(hands) and not sancharis!

[pratyagatchaami]

@madhandagr8 I thought the term kai was used when doing padartha (word to word) since thats when u use the hastas to describe the words. Technically u use ur 'kais' all the time. Its when u transition into a idea is called sanchari. In part 1 in the anupallavi when she asks the bird not to sing, there are not many 'kais'. shes just holding the bird for the words, "i cant bear this love anymore". That is vakyartha sanchari. in that its a complete idea and story in itself.

[ardhanariswar]

@pratyagatchaami

I think some people also refer to sanchari bhava segements as Kai's as well. 

[Bharathanatyam]

Gasp* isn't this the kalakshetra troupe at the kalakshetra auditorium? :O how on earth did you get this clip?

[ardhanariswar]

Its not the troupe. They're graduating students.

haha, someone posted this originally on google video.

[Bharathanatyam]
