The Union of Sufi and Kathak, the Dance and Songs of Courtesan | Manjari Chaturvedi | TEDxSIUNashik

Ms. Manjari, the leading exponent of classical dance Kathak in India, is an unusual dancer in the field of performing arts.
Manjari has extensively worked on gender-sensitive subjects through her medium of dance. She re-lives traditions in a modern context, at times reliving an era that has been lost to time and creating that ecstatic dance of mystical surrender. She has been part of the Sufi Symposium at the prestigious Smithsonian Museum Washington D.C. Ms. Manjari, the leading exponent of classical dance in India, is an unusual dancer, she has blazed her` own path, that no one traversed earlier, in the field of performing arts. She has taken the traditional form of Kathak to a different level altogether and has created her own style, her own brand of dance. Her productions as a dancer are projects that are meticulously researched, documented, as she first studies the original traditions and then finds her own artistic expression of the subject and that expression is always unique, as never seen before, as she pours her heart and soul into the dance. Manjari has extensively worked on gender-sensitive subjects through her medium of dance, exploring the many traditions woven into poetry, music, and dance. A force and a name to reckon with, she has blazed her own path in classical Indian Dance with her work in the last twenty years on spirituality and dance. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
