The 2014 Thirkan annual dance recital show in Atlanta, GA held its audience in captive silence as a spectacular drama of colors painted the Gwinnett Performing Arts Center on Saturday, September 6th 2014.
Of the multitude of folk dances and academy presented
themes one program – SHIVOHAM – presented by Indian Classical Dance Academy raised the bar for dance-based stage entertainment.
Shivoham – the absolute essence of Lord Shiva – was portrayed in dance and drama style to an audience that was zapped beyond their expectations. Teams of brilliant coordinated dancing children, teens, youth and males showed through their varied and unique dance forms, devotion and expression how one can reach Lord Shiva, the one with no facade.
The Opening Act awakened the viewers to Adi Shankara’s Atma Shatakam whence a group of pretty dancers paid tribute to Lord Vishnu and Lord Ganesha in delightfully synchronized moves.
The Second Act transported the audience immediately to a group of male Aghora dancers paying their devotion in vehemence and swaying to Lord Shiva’s cadence and rhythm. The “Aghora team” were covered from head to foot in ashen body paint with symbols representing Shiva on their chests. Exacting detail was portrayed in their makeup topped only by their ability to carry out a very convincing performance including their human pyramid and continued dance while in formation.
