Arangetram Imran & Kimberly: Jathiswaram

 

JATHISWARAM Ragam: Nasikabhushani Talam: Adi Composer: Shrimathi Kanagamani Vijayendra Ornamental dance or pure dance is Nritta. Here, there is no overt meaning except the joy of abstract form and line danced to passages of Swara or Solfa phrases. The enchanting exposition of melodic and visual lines is the essence of the Jathiswaram. Bharathanatyam is characterised by linear and angular lines. The dancer weaves through cross rhythms and Adavu Korvais or sequences which culminate in Teermanams or concluding triple flourishes.
