With the presence of all senior disciples of Guru Smt Meera Das a seminar was conducted in utkala Ranga Mancha, Bbsr. It’s always wonderful to host seminars on different aspects of Odissi Dance & music.
It gives us deep insights about our ancient Dance form. If we observe closely & attentively it always enhances the knowledge.
These pieces of wisdom & knowledge force us to introspect which in turn broadens our vision.
We are very thankful to Mrs Sharon Lowen, Smt Sikata Das, Dr. Itishree Devi for being the chairperson of the seminar and Guru Smt Aruna Mohanty, Guru Shri Ratikanta Mohapatra, & Shri Kedar Mishra for being the keynote speakers. And hearty regards to the members of extended Odissi family who attended the seminar.
The seminar was followed by a cultural evening named “Abhinaya”,where the evening witnessed some of the beautiful choreographies of Smt. Meera Das as solo recitals by senior dancers: Sasmita panda, Puspa panda, Priyanka Jena, Bidya biswajita , Shibani Parija and a duet recital by Sweekruti Das & Bhagyashree Aich. The dancers enthralled the art lovers with their wonderful expression & grace. In spreading the awareness about the platform for soloist has been almost getting no value as the group performance has taken over ,the effort by Guru Smt Meera Das was highly appreciated by the art lovers present there.
We hope this initiative of her will give a boost & encouragement to all the Gurus to provide platforms to the young, promising & talented soloist .
