PROGRAMME : MARCH - 2016

March 20 : BVB-Karnataka Nrityakala Parishath present ―Natarajotsava 2016‖ at
Khincha Hall, at 4 pm. An exclusive festival for male dancers in an otherwise women-
dominated art form, this year‘s festival, into its nineteenth edition, will cover Bharatanatya,
Odissi and Kathak, preceded by nritya seva by senior teachers Mysore Nagaraj and
Jayakamala Pandian.
Nritya Seva is a special segment of the programme got up about nine years ago to put on
stage senior teachers, and record it for the archives, by the Karnataka Sangeeta Nritya
Academy and the Parishath.

This is one platform where male dancers from outside Bengaluru are given an opportunity
to perform. This is really appreciable as male soloists from outside the metro find it difficult
to make their presence felt in known or popular fora.
