Aadupambe - Wonderful Performance by the AVAR Team

Pooja, Sruthi, Aashika Shanmugan, Krishna Suresh, Shilpa and Dhanusree Dhanraj form AVAR, a performing arts ensemble dedicated to presenting new experimental dance productions in the genre of classical, semi-classical and contemporary dancing styles. The dance company is founded by a group of post graduate performers from the University of Hyderabad.

The ensemble works towards contributing to the cultural aroma of Indian dancing styles, collaborating and commissioning with major music productions through dance covers and jams. AVAR, (which means a layer of fallen dry leaves on the ground) targets the  presentation of these performances to diverse audiences including those who are not well versed in Indian Classical Dances through their YouTube channel, which is been followed extensively by the dancing community of Kerala.

Pooja, Shilpa, Sruthi, Aashika  and Krishna were my students from University of Hyderabad and they informed me of this production. I loved it. Watch.

I will also give a link to their previous production. Equally pleasing to watch. This one is shot outdoors at Chavakkad beach, near Thrissur.

Very well done AVAR. Looking forward for more.
