SUMMARY:London Ragas: The Story and the Steps
LOCATION:Royal Wharf Community Dock
DESCRIPTION:Alokparna Guha dances Kathak at our London Ragas baithak this O
 ctober\, at Royal Wharf Community Dock in Silvertown. Debipriya Sircar sin
 gs with live tabla.\n\nAlokparna Ji began Kathak at five with Sri Pradipta
  Neogi and later trained under Dr Malabika Mitra. She works across the Jai
 pur and Lucknow styles\, and carries a Senior Diploma from Prayag Sangeet 
 Siksha Samiti and a Gold Medal from Rabindra Bharati University. She found
 ed PUSHPAK Academy of Dance\, which teaches in Kolkata and has danced at t
 he Uday Shankar Dance Festival and the Konark Dance Festival\, as well as 
 in London\, Birmingham\, Barcelona\, and Toronto.\n\nShe splits the evenin
 g in two halves. First she gives two short lecture-demonstrations\, one on
  where Kathak comes from and one on tabla\, which she calls an indispensab
 le part of the form. After the interval she opens with a vandana\, then da
 nces paramparagat Kathak Nritya across its range.\n\nThat order is the poi
 nt. Most people who sit down to Kathak are watching something nobody has t
 aught them to read\, the feet keeping a time cycle and the face carrying a
  story. Here she tells you what to look for\, then dances it. If you have 
 been meaning to bring someone to this music and never known where to start
 \, start here.\n\nLondon Ragas is our monthly baithak: one room\, 160 seat
 s\, and no stage set back from the audience. Sit close if you can.\n\nIf y
 ou are in London or nearby\, do join us. If you have any access needs\, co
 ntact us.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/dk7xb6-london-ragas-the-story-
