Vishwa Vinayaka
.
Last weekend, I had an invitation to attend a Dance programme... Initially, I didn't have the inclination to go for it. However the decision was changed later on, by the Home Ministry. I would have regretted otherwise, for missing that show.
Last weekend, I had an invitation to attend a Dance programme... Initially, I didn't have the inclination to go for it. However the decision was changed later on, by the Home Ministry. I would have regretted otherwise, for missing that show.
The Programme which was presented by the Temple of Fine Arts, was co-ordinated in a wonderful way with dancers from the age of 7 years. The beauty is that they are from different places - Australia, Malaysia, India & Singapore, and I was told that they had the training session for their part individually in their countries and finally mixed here. Amazing co-ordination!!!
The programme titled 'Vishwa Vinayaka' (on Lord Ganesha) combined the traditional and contemporary dance movements to present a dynamic and moving dance fusion with stunning choreography. The songs were rendered by SPB & Shankar Mahadevan and were mesmerizing.
I could recollect the last dance programme which I watched 2 decades back in Madurai, when we got an invitation for the dancer Swarnamukhi's solo dance. Eventhough, the technology has improved nowadays so much for the stage background, audio effects, visual effects etc., the original art has not changed so much. Still, it has its own mesmerizing quality & life. By end of the day, I was happy about the splendid evening.
Don't miss the review of 'Ullam Ketkumae' after this post...

The pics u've got shows it all.. great..
And, Manoj, not all carnatic concerts are so boring.. I've attended two so far.. one by Kadri Gopalnath and other by Nithyashree.. both were superb, even though they are intrumental /vocal.. u just get involved in the resonance of their music..
wow ... looks like a great show! How do people hear about these things?
but I didnt like the fact tt in th eposters vinayaka was posing like Krishna with a flute and girls all ard him....that is incorrect...
u r tellin the wrong information to ppl who r not aware tt vinayakar is supp to be a staunch bramachari...n prob sth I cannot accept as a dancer is the way ppl misrepresent stories in the name of 'contemporary'.That isnt what contemporary dancing is about...
Manoj / Magnus Astrum.. I didn't feel bored during the 2 hours show. Definitely, some shows are worth watching.
Gayathri.. My friends daughters were also part of the dancers. So, I got to know thru them.
Angelsera..
I saw the poster, which you are talking about. You are right.. they were portraying him, as you had mentioned, which they could hv avoided. However, the dance sequences didn't go on those lines.
But, in puranaas, I know Lord Ganesha was portrayed as one who knows dancing (Narthana Vinayagar) and with two wives (Sithi-Puthi Vinayagar).. Pl.correct me, if I am wrong in that Sithi-Puthi Vinayagar part.
i think there are more shows like this in s.pore than in india.....
have fun ensoi....
Me..thanks
Suguna.. My knowledge base too is very poor on Carnatic music ...
as far as i know, sidhi n budhi r not his wives but rather an abstract way to show the 2 aspects of vinayaka,but in some parts of india vinayaka has 2 wives supposedly.but then again i m no expert in these matters
In case any1 is interested, the Srinivas Perumal Temple in singapore just went thru Kumba veshesham.. and 48 days of Madalabhishegham,full of concerts n dance programmes.
