Gayatri has good ‘Angalakshanam’ and a strong command on her footwork. All her dance numbers have been finely chosen with a beautiful blend of both Nritta and Abhinaya. Her remarkable performance was one of Sri Annamacharya’s kriti, ‘Bhavayami Gopala Balam’ in which she enacted the scenes depicting Krishna’s pranks on stealing butter and troubling the Gopis in a very playful way. Gayatri’s overall performance was very captivating.

A fusion of ballet and classical dancing was seen. This was original and fresh in the idea of merging two very different themes on the same stage. The music that was composed for this segment was also very meticulous and precise in its outcome.

The music was composed by Mr. C.V. Subramanian, another untapped talent in Atlanta who is a violinist and has composed a lot of music. We hope to see more of the duo
Mr. Subramanian and his choreographer/dancer wife Gayatri in the future.

Madison’s East Indian Community was feted with a wonderful afternoon of Bharata Natyam dances beginning with an invocatory prayer “Natyavedam” with guest artist Gayatri Subramanian, a professional Bharata Natyam dancer from India who now lives in Atlanta.
