CHENNAI: It is the sign of a personal bliss that Akmaral Kainazarova experimented at RK Swamy Auditorium, Sivaswamy Kalalaya Sr Sec School.Her dance performance in Bharatanatyam proves that language is no barrier to the growth of an artiste. “Creativity of the movements stems from the aesthetics of Bharatanatyam; it is an intellectual art and voracious in content,” says Akmaral who hails from Kazakhstan.She adds that an artiste is blessed as to learn history, philosophy and language when one learns dance.With a special thanks to her dance gurus, an excited Akmaral claims, “I teach dance to everyone and age is no bar.” Her name has been included in the LIMCA Book of Records, 2006, for her sole contribution as a Bharatanatyam artiste from Kazakhstan.The quest for innovation started when she did her Alaripu in Misra jati, Triputa tala. It was almost an extension of her persona.Next with ease she exhibited, Thandai muzhanga, a ragamalika – Shabdam of Shemanar Koil Shanmugam with music composed by Turayur Rajagopal Sharma.Unmasking the emotions, the artiste staged a varnam in Sankarabharanam, Adi tala.Akmaral’s eclectic approach to dance and her willingness to blend traditions seemed evident in the piece that was dedicated to lord Shiva who is enshrined at Brahadeeswarar temple. Her exquisite facial expressions based on the ethos of Indian classical dance showcased harmony.Her unbridled expressions came out when padam was presented with aura, which portrays the mood of a heroine at the threshold of youth and love under a tremulous state in raga Sankarabharanam – Dari Joochuchunnadi of Moovalur Sabapathi Iyer. Her best expression was delivered when she displayed a scene from Nandanar Charithram which says those who get to see the beautiful form of Lord Shiva, there is no hunger.Concluding piece, Thillana in foot-tapping raga Hamsanandhi on Lord Nataraja was indeed a feast to the audience.Though the dancer bopped to the recorded songs, a laudable effort was seen in her charming movements.
