Annual exhibition by NIFD students Chandigarh, June 7 Various age-old techniques and traditions of weaving were amalgamated with embroidery pattern. It used in different parts of India, creating an interesting fusion of ethnic and modern taste — be it ready-to-wear garments or items of home decor. The colour scheme, fine finishing and proper displaying spoke volumes about the creativity, dedication, hard work and designer abilities of these students. Students of textile design captured different moods in simple fabrics like cotton, organza and silk in an array of colours and textures creating products like wall panels, floor cushions, wall mirrors, shawls, sarees and assorted articles. Traditional embroideries like Kutch of Gujarat, kasuti, kantha and phulkari adorned articles of various uses. Students created various decorative items for drawing, dining, bed rooms and kitchen from waste materials. Influence of outside countries in the interior design section was evident in set-ups like a living room in Chinese style and living-cum-bed room using ancient arts of Egypt accompanied by proper wall finishing, furniture and lighting. But the cowboy room from the wild West with an interesting display of bars, living quarters and discotheque using bamboos, hay, mud, hessian cloth and wooden flooring to give the authentic look, was a master piece. The
exhibition is open for public till next Sunday. |

remand in cheating case Lalru, June 7 |
Blending dance forms Chandigarh, June 7 “Kala is not limited,” says Sandeep, who is in town for a performance in Pracheen Kala Kendra, tomorrow. He had recently composed “Belief” a blend of kathak, bharatnatyam and jazz, which proved to be a big success all over the country. His creative mind has even conjured up a number of fusion ballets catching the similarities of different dance forms. However what makes Sandeep different from other artistes working on fusion theme is that he never lets the elements of other dances cloud the true form of kathak. “There are different dances in this world that share similarities and in my fusion act I simply present them as two separate entities,” he says citing an example of the act where he showed how kathak and Flamingo share some of the basics. Born in a traditional family of musicians and vocalists from the Jaipur gharana, Sandeep stepped into the world of performing arts through vocal music by following the footsteps of his legendary father late K. Mahavir, who is known for his long association with famous singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Anup Jalota, Hariharan and others. But his zeal for trying out something new led him to learn kathak under Madhurita Sarang, who taught him the nuances of all three gharanas of kathak — Banaras, Jaipur and Lucknow. This spirit led this Mumbai-based dancer to take up acting in teleserials. “It was by sheer co-incidence that my first serial “Raj Kahani” fell into my lap,” he says adding that the maker of the serial, a friend of his wanted him to try his luck in the silver screen. His face clicked with the camera and offers followed. His career graph shot upwards with project like “Ek raja Ek Rani”, “Aisa Bhi Hota Hai,” “Saturday Suspense,” along with a few modelling assignments under his belt. “Acting is another form of art and the long-time association with kathak came to my aid for projecting emotions,” he says. Sandeep who is comfortable in front of a camera is equally at ease behind it, for he has recently choreographed Lata Mangeshkar’s song “Inhi Logo Ne” He has also worked as a co- choreographer with Shyamak Davar in album “Katjazz” — a fusion of kathak and jazz. Sandeep who has been performing all over the country would show his proficiency in “layakari” and dexterity in footwork at the Bhaskar Rao Auditorium of the kendra tomorrow. He will be accompanied by renowned Pakhawaj player Pt Bhavani Shankar and his brothers, Dinesh K. Mahavir on vocal and Rajeev K. Mahavir on the tabla. |
