The structure and significance of Jathiswaram, a Bharatanatyam component seldom used in recitals today, are presented in detail by Priyadarsini Govind, the well-known danseuse. The theoretical aspects are discussed threadbare followed by some lively demos by the danseuse and a bevy of upcoming dancers.
The demos cover some lilting compositions by the hallowed Tanjore Quartet and Guru Shri Dhandayuthapani Pillai..
Highly enlightening and entertaining, it can also serve as a perfect choreographic tool.
