 No, this is not an earthquake. This is BU theme, the Indian Classical Dance Team, here at Boston University. We originally used to be an association, so it was Indian Classical Association of Boston University, so we used to have singing groups. We would have the core team, that was the dance team, we were the main part of theme. But as years went on, we didn't really have that many students who actually came, but we had our dance team as the strong component of theme. So we just evolved into our dance team. BU theme blends four different Indian Classical styles from different regions, Barthenathiam, Kuchapudi, Odyssey, and Kathak. The styles vary greatly in movement from linear to preform. All of the styles include storytelling and abstract sequences. What we have usually done is Abhinaya, which is expression, where you kind of emote a story or you tell something through your dance. And then we have Japanese, which are just straight steps or segmented sections of the dance that are just pure steps, pure footwork or handwork. The team is preparing for upcoming performances at Montage and Indianite with intense practices. They also put on their own shows. Then we also hold our own show, the theme showcase, where we not only have our own dance team members dancing, but we ask other students in all of Boston University if they have Classical styles that they want to show the rest of BU and other students from other universities. We have people come up to us and say, wow, that was amazing. You guys were so cool. I've never seen Classical dance before. This looks phenomenal. So it's nice to actually hear that people appreciate what we do. There are difficulties engaging audience members with a more traditional art form when compared to other fusion teams. So you have audiences that expect to see something that, oh, I've heard that song before. I can dance along with this while they're dancing to it. So when we do it, we have to make sure that we're not just going along with that ride, but that we can also keep them engaged and have something of our own Classical style, but modern. You can catch BU Themes piece full of narrative and pure dance sequences as early as Halloween right here at Psy Performance Center. For BU News Service, I'm Karishma the Psy signing off.
