Curated by Odissi exponent Shubhada Varadkar
Shubhada Varadkar is an exponent of Odissi. A disciple of the legendary Kelucharan Mohapatra, Varadkar is a recipient of a Senior Fellowship by the Ministry of Culture, Government of India. Varadkar’s dance is a union of eloquent expressions and graceful movements right out of Odissi’s rich heritage. Some of Varadkar’s major productions include Kanupriya, based on Dr. Dharmvir Bharti’s poetry by the same name; Miracles of Splendour, based on Kalidasa’s Ritusamharam and Rabindranath Tagore’s Chitrangada. Her dance productions have been well-received for their rich tapestry of music, choreography and literature. Within the boundaries of the traditional format, she has enthralled the audience with her artistic excellence and creative spirit.
Conceptualised by Varadkar, Ram Ratan Dhan is a classical dance presentation on immortal melodies of Lata Mangeshkar.
