Bharata Natyam-Performance by Vid. Shobana Balachandra, 13.Apr.2024
On April 13, we are hosting the Bharata Natyam performance by Vid. Shobana Balachandra, the teacher of our friend Uthra Sankaran.
Shobana Bhalchandra is the youngest of the renowned Trio Sisters of Chennai. A seasoned and versatile artist, she is also recognized as a senior Bharatanatyam “Guru”.
One of the early disciples of the famous dance duo, Dhananjayans, Shobana was trained in the popular Kalakshetra style. She went on to complement this with an extensive study of Abhinaya (Expressions) under Padmabushan Kalanidhi Narayanan. Shobana, in a career spanning across three decades has exhibited her abundant creativity in choreographing various thematic presentations. Even though the themes ranged from Sangam literature to works of Dr. Balamuralikrishna, Shobana made sure there was no compromise on purity, just for the sake of bringing in footfalls.
As a panelled artist of Indian Council for Cultural Relations ICCR, Shobana has performed widely in India as well as in many countries abroad, including Russia, UK, Germany, Denmark, South Africa and USA.
