Indian Classical Dance Drama Company to Perform
Next Tuesday, 9th November, the Arts Centre will be filled with the sounds and colours of India as the Kala Chethena Kathakali Company perform their classical dance drama.
As part of their national tour, the Company, who originate from Kerala, India will lead the audience, from the moment they enter the Arts Centre Foyer into the entrancing world of legends and storytelling. Their performance will then erupt on stage with unforgettable visual images to expose the magical world of India.
Actors, singers and drummers will be bringing alive the stories and characters of the great Hindu epics, the Mahabaratha and the Ramayana, to illustrate that good always prevails over evil. Prior to the performance, there will be a short demonstration by the Kathakali actors performing techniques to assist the audience to discover the stylised way in which a Kathakali actor tells a story.
Richard Boswell, Head of Performing Arts commented, We feel privileged to be hosting the internationally renowned Kala Chethena Kathakali Company. Through our Arena Arts Programme at the College we aim to promote the arts and encourage our pupils skills and appreciation of them. Students take the Arts Council approved Arts Award at Bronze, Silver and Gold in music, drama, dance, costume and make up, stage tech, media and visual art. Kathakali offers a wonderful example of all these skills being combined in one stunning, exotic and powerful performance. It is important for us that we can bring a piece of authentic South Indian culture into the heart of Shropshire. As an international school, with students from many parts of the world, we recognize the rich diversity of cultures that can be appreciated
Tickets for the performance which is open to members of the public, can be reserved via the Arts Centre Box Office. Telephone no. 01691 626545 or email helen.coney@ellesmere.com. The ticket price of 10 includes Indian nibbles and soft drinks, before, during and after the performance.
