About KalaSudha in Rourkela
Indian classical music in Rourkela belongs to Odisha, the home of Odissi, one of the eight recognised forms of Indian classical dance. The dance grew from the maharis, women ritual dancers of the Jagannath temple, and the gotipuas, boys dressed as girls who danced at festivals and added acrobatics. After a long decline, gurus and scholars rebuilt the form from the late 1950s, drawing on these traditions, temple sculpture and old treatises.
On stage the dancer works with live musicians, the mardala drum keeping time under songs in Odia and Sanskrit.
Learners in Rourkela can study tabla, sitar and every other discipline on KalaSudha's online courses. Practical work and spoken questions assess Foundation, and every level ends with a KalaSudha certificate or diploma. Each course is built by its instructor with KalaSudha. Rourkela learners who register in enough numbers bring workshops and summer camps to the city. KalaSudha's concert videos and recordings play online, and its concerts take in the Kala Festival, a touring festival.
