Experience the soul of Indian classical dance with "Chaitanya – The Journey of the Spirit", a spellbinding Kathak showcase by the talented students of Bhavan’s Kathak Department. This special performance is presented under the guidance of their esteemed gurus — Sri Abhinav Shankar Mishra and Smt Shreetama Mukherjee — both highly respected artists and educators in the world of Indian classical dance.
Rooted in the rich traditions of Kathak, Chaitanya (meaning "consciousness" or "spirit") explores the journey of the inner self — from awakening to transcendence. The production delves deep into the spiritual and artistic essence of Kathak, drawing on its powerful storytelling, intricate footwork, expressive gestures, and rhythmic brilliance to portray the evolution of the human spirit.
This showcase is not merely a dance recital — it is an introspective and inspiring celebration of transformation, devotion, and self-realisation. Each performance is a reflection of the dancers’ personal journeys, crafted through months of dedicated practice and guided by the profound teachings of their gurus.
Held at The Bhavan, London’s leading institution for Indian arts and culture, the evening promises a vibrant display of talent, tradition, and timeless beauty. Whether you are a passionate supporter of the arts or someone curious to explore the classical heritage of India, Chaitanya invites you to witness the magic of Kathak in its purest form.
Come, be a part of this spiritual and cultural journey — and let the rhythm awaken your soul.
