Sunday, July 02, 2006 the day has come. 12:01 PM "A stage has now come, when there is a general conflict between tradition bound purists and tradition bound Innovators. The purists always argue that in classical dance, our ancestors have created the best and the finest masterpieces with the result there is no scope for modern enthusiasts to better them whereas, the Innovators are of the determined opinion that even in a tradition-bound art there is scope for variety, unbounded richness and unique nuances... A sense of revolt and change is ever present in most practicing artists. It is this spirit of adventure that makes art a mirror of its time. It is a common practice amongst all aged persons to condemn the changes of their present days and praise their good old days. But when the changes get settled in the patterns of art, there are no more voices denigrating erstwhile changes, because they have become one with tradition! And so life goes on, art marches on and culture passes on." came across this quote a while ago. echoes my sentiments about bharathanatyam and change. when choreographing items, i disliked the fact that my teacher had to consider what they would have to say, which i thought was completely unnecessary... art forms should be open to change, and all change shouldn't be seen as force to be reckoned with but instead should be accepted with open arms. art that is stagnant will not see any kind of progress, or recognition. with this note i wish myself all the best for my arangetram. BREATHE. have focus, have courage. have faith. have stamina, have involvment. SMILE. most importantly, have fun. all will go well. god bless. 1 comments |
