Ashish Mohan Khokar
 History & Evolution of Indian Classical Dances
(with live demonstrations)

Dear Alumnus,

We have given the TAA-TALK a new look, not just by creating a vibrant, new logo, but also making it broader in appeal. We will be inviting eminent speakers from diverse fields covering Technology, Management, Entrepreneurship, History, Social Welfare and Culture to speak on subjects that will interest members of TAA and their families. The speakers we have short listed are all authorities in their field and are known as great presenters.

I would like to invite you to the year’s first session of TAA-TALK at 7.00pm on 30th April ’11 (Saturday) at the Indiranagar Club. Shri Ashish Mohan Khokar, the eminent dance critic and presenter will speak on “The History and Evolution of Indian Classical dances: Bharatnatyam, Kathak and Odissi“, accompanied by demonstration performances.

Our first speaker of the year, Shri Ashish Mohan Khokar is a St Stephanian, a former dance critic of Times of India, founder-publisher of the dance magazine ‘Attendance’ and writer of many treasured volumes on Indian dance. Dance DISCourse, his monthly presentation on dance, accompanied by video at Alliance Francaise draws houseful audiences. He is among he most articulate, knowledgeable and audience-friendly speakers on dance. The artistes demonstrating the finer points of the three dance forms are three young and very talented dancers, Shri Sathyanarayan Raju (Bharatnatyam), Shri K Murali Mohan (Kathak) and Smt Madhulita Mohapatra (Odissi).

So if you want to be better informed about the Indian dance forms, or want to appreciate dance better, or just want to watch some great short performances, this is an opportunity you cannot miss. There is of course as usual the dinner and the networking to follow. All in all, a great evening to look forward to.

See you all there with your friends and families.
