India, Dec. 19 -- J ust like every art form, dance, at its core, is a dialogue of aesthetics, technique, and expressive depth. That essence came alive on Tuesday evening at Gunjan: The Rhythm of Grace, a Kathak dance tribute to legendary music composers late Pt Jwala Prasad and Pt Madho Prasad by the disciples of Padma Shri Shovana Narayan. At the heart of the evening was the celebration of more than five decades of Kathak instruction by Narayan. Reflecting on her journey, she shared, "Kathak has grounded me, and at the same time, it has allowed me to live my imagination, explore and express myself." The evening began with a panel discussion, during which Narayan's biography, I Am A Fleeting Moment in Time, written by author Maya Parijat, was discussed. "I watched all her live events, and while on the way to those places, I would bombard her with questions and record them. Eventually, the whole thing came out the way I thought it would," Parijat said. The evening drew to a close with a surprise as during the final dance act, Narayan also joined her disciples on the stage. Shruti Gupta Chandra, one of Narayan's first disciples, said, "I am feeling quite overwhelmed today. It has truly been an honour all these years."...
