Most of you will be familiar with our Ananda Odissi Festival, where Ananda Arts has successfully brought together the largest congregation of Odissi dancers training in one place in the UK. This year the same wonderful team are bringing the festival to life for the fourth time! However, this year's format will be a little different due to COVID restrictions and the current situation regarding the pandemic.
The festival offers the rare opportunity to learn under the guidance of world-renowned Odissi exponent Padmasri Madhavi Mudgal, accompanied by her accomplished disciple Shalakha Rai. Online workshops will be running over 3 separate weekends whereby participants will have the option to either attend the full festival experience which includes all workshop weekends, the webinar and the live performance or opt to attend specific streams of the festival individually.
FESTIVAL STRUCTURE:
Launch
SENIOR full festival experience with Guru Madhavi Mudgal: A joyous and beautiful Behag Pallavi
INTERMEDIATE full festival experience with Shalakha Rai: An original 7 beat Oriya Mangalacharan
