Shobana Live on Broadway - Folk (bharatanatyam with snake dances!)
When did Shobana dance on Broadway? It’s almost impossible to find out when, as all references to the DVD that came out seem to omit the date of the original performance. But from what I can tell (with a whole lot of searching), it was a performance that happened last summer, maybe August. Well, now I’m going to keep an eye out for the next time that Shobana visits NYC. I don’t plan to miss it…
Someone called Minaiminai (whose YouTube channel is great, I might add) was good enough to post this piece called “Folk” in two parts. The first part is mostly intro, though, so I’m going to leave it off here, but if you want to get introduced to the dancers, the story and the characters, go here. The second part is great to watch even if you haven’t seen the intro, and I particularly like the snake dances in the middle (and the dance of the eagle devouring the snake!) - also a beautiful way to continue the theme that I started here ten days ago…
