Navtej’s latest ‘Ranjha turda jaave’ Chandigarh, September 6 After holding yoga and bharatnatyam classes for the aspirants in the city, Navtej is now also planning to set up a permanent base of his Abhyaas studio here in Chandigarh. The idea has been on his mind for long. Already being run successfully since many years in Delhi, the studio may be opened in the city any time. Apart from lending instruction in bharatnatyam, the studio will also have everything for those into meditation. Navtej, who has learnt yoga for as many years as he has learnt dance, talked of the discipline as a way of life. Likewise he referred to dance as a complete medium that satisfies his expressions. Navtej Johar always took the road less trodden by. Years ago, he caught the world of Indian classical dance unawares when he started dancing bharatnatyam. Years later, he is still doing things new and exciting. Apart from other things, the reputed co-director of the Commonwealth Parade on the occasion of Queen’s golden jubilee in London, Navtej mentioned another masterpiece he has created in association with Madan Gopal Sharma, a famous sufi singer and composer. Titled “Ranjha turda jaave”, the piece traces various wanderings of Ranjha. It has been staged once. The next presentation will be made at a mega scale, said Navtej. Vocal about his Punjabi inclination, he said that he always wanted to have a bharatnatyam company with people of Punjabi sensibilities. And if you ask him why Punjabis?, he smiles back,”Because they are blessed with an innate sense of atheleticism. Also because they get inspired easily — by words, by images, by movements. This energy is very conducive for bharatnatyam which is all about passion.” |
