Erasing Borders 2009: Festival of Indian Dance
Prerana Deshpande (Kathak) |
| |
Prerana is internationally acclaimed as a
creative artist whose work reveals the
perpetually expanding horizons of a traditional
form. She believes that Kathak is a medium of
expression with which a dancer can create an
enchanting lyric. Trained by the great maestro,
Guru Dr. Rohini Bhate and Sharadini Gole,
Prerana has extended the frontiers of her
dance tradition to evolve her own distinctive
style, which has been described as ".an
effortless synchronization of aesthetics, playful
rhythm, uninhibited expression."
Prerana's use of rhythm is also enriched by her
minute observation and study of 'Laya' under
renowned Guru Taalyogi Pt. Suresh Talwalkar.
Her evolving bodies of work and collaborative
productions include music from varied genres
highlighting her keen awareness of musical styles. One of her many talents is her keen
sensibility in bringing out the abstract from the obvious in her dancing style. She
founded 'Nrityadham' where she teaches and choreographs new works for her company.
Through master classes, workshops and seminars in India and abroad, Prerana brings
out the tradition and the nuances of Kathak. www.preranadeshpande.com |
