| October 12-14, 2005 Mallika Sarabhai:
Hot Talas, Cool Rasas |

"The
interaction of the dancer works at two levels - with the space
around and with the body. There is an aching and slow discovery
of the body, its muscles, it's movements while rolling on the
floor and cutting the space above with arms or legs outstretched.
There is also joy, a celebration of this discovery of being. This
is depicted with giant leaps in the air and a smiling coutenance."
- THE ASIAN AGE
"My
World has several features and the body movements, excellent
lighting, original and imaginative music and the flawless performances
by dancers." - THE INDIAN EXPRESS
"The
second half of the evening was devoted to Passing Clouds, contemporary
dance sequences presented by Mallika Sarabhai and her troupe.
My World, in which two male dancers painted a canvas of shadow
play with their bodies against the light, a solo with Sarabhai
as the repressed woman whose fantasy of dancing with abandaon
is projected on the screen were among the highlights of the
show" - THE INDIAN EXPRESS
"Mean Streets on Earth" was created out of Mallika's
grief at the widespread violence and arson that followed the
breakdown of the Muslim mosque at Ayodhya in India early in
1992" - CHINA DAILY
Noted Indian
danseuse Mallika Sarabhai and artists from the Darpana Acadmey
of Performing Arts have become an instant hit among art and
culture lovers here" - PRESS TRUST OF INDIA, BEIJING
