Kathak | Pandit Rajendra Gangani Rasraj Trivat | Padhant | Best of Indian Classical Dance

‘Kathak Trivat – Rasraj’, a Kathak piece performed to Trivat, which is a semi-classical genre of Indian classical music that imbibes the essence of percussion rhythms, poetry and melody to present the Raga and Taal. The composition and choreography of this Indian Classical Dance was done in 1995 by Pandit Rajendra Gangani, one of the leading exponents of the Jaipur Gharana of Kathak, who goes by the pen name “Rasraj”. This dance piece has been revived especially for the IndianRaga Fellowship and is performed by Pandit Rajendra Gangani’s disciple Eshani Sathe and her disciple Srushti Mate.

The choreography of ‘Kathak Trivat Rasraj’ maintains the traditional grammar of the composition while, at the same time, employs a contemporary approach to space utilisation and visual appeal.  The piece starts at a slow pace with soft delicate movements in duet formations, but quickly moves to a fast pace that continues to escalate throughout the piece.
