Ailey II in Takademe by Robert Battle.
The complex, tightly woven rhythms of Indian Kathak dance are deconstructed and abstracted in this percussive, fast-paced work by choreographer Robert Battle. Clear shapes and propulsive jumps mimic the vocalized rhythmic syllables of Sheila Chandra's jazzy score.

  • These are specially South Indian or Karnatic rhythms and words and have nothing to do with North Indian Kathak dance or Hindustani rhythms. There is a very specific science in the difference of the two styles as anyone versed in the field can recognize, so please make that change in the description of the piece as it's an unexpected and major faux pas for such a respected company.
