We dreamt of Bollywood.
There are several Indian events all over London this summer to mark India's 60th year of Independence. There were dance performances for three weekends at Trafalgar Square. These are the ones I saw.
Quick! by Nina Rajarani
A look at corporate life with an Indian twist and live accompaniment. I like!
Nagarantharan by Attakalari Centre
Lots of potential, but leaves you feeling shortchanged. The concept could have been fleshed out more. The unnecessary motorbikes nearly caused an accident. Don't dance and drive.
JUGGERNAUT - Tara in the Sky by Tara Arts
Very clear in its abstraction of Indian colonial history. Colorful and effective. Hey, aren't those striped rainbow shirts from Primark?
DJ Ritu
Danceable tunes, but nobody danced! I saw painters from Mumbai working on the giant poster. Namastey!
Sapnay School of Dance
Colorful costumes and very pop moves with hiphop and breakdance influences.

Those are gorgeous pictures! I love festivals that celebrate stuff like that... those pics remind me of Folklife Festival here in Seattle. I love going there every year ;)
ReplyDeletethanks! i was lucky that their costumes were bright. there was no sun at all, so i wasn't counting on nice shots.
