Just Dance-Shabdam

Shabdam

• Shabdam is a dance item with both Nritya and Abinaya.
• Usually the theme of the lyrics will be devotional like praising Lord Krishna, depicting Lord Krishna's childhood, praising a King etc.
• Shabdam is often sung in a medley of ragas, known as Rag Malika.
• The form is simple consisting of four or five sections of poetry in different ragas; set in seven beats i.e. Misra Chapu.
• The challenge here is for the dancer to keep a steady flow of gestures and mime to this densely compact text in seven beats.
• Short sequences of abstract dance are done to the syllables which separate the various poetic sections.
• Presented by Maitri, Mruga and Shelly
