The Snakes & Ladders), the 12th-century projected images are from original Sufi text The Conference of the Birds, paintings by Chennai-based visual and the Hindu mythological story artist Keshav, specially commissioned Ksheerabthi Madanam, the churning of by Ragamala for this work. Written the seven seas. in Water was developed through We have drawn upon The Conference an ongoing collaboration in which of the Birds to frame the arc of Written choreography, music, and visual art in Water. The protagonists of this Sufi were constructed simultaneously epic progress through seven valleys, in a constant artistic dialogue that representing states of being. With spanned two years. Written in Water, we mirror their journey through a world of psychological — Ranee Ramaswamy and complexity, traversing experiences Aparna Ramaswamy of spiritual longing, human love, unity with others, detachment from material life, and finally, ultimate oneness with the divine. In the first movement of Written in Water, we experience human life, love, and struggle, explored through the framework of the board game Paramapadam. The game board serves as a physical and metaphorical framework through which the seekers/dancers navigate snakes and ladders representing the heights of ecstasy and the depths of longing. In the second movement, we explore the human quest for the divine. The mythological story of Ksheerabthi Madanam is a metaphor for a world in chaos. Amidst this dynamic tension between good and evil, Vishnu stands for the perfect center toward which humans strive. In the final movement, we journey toward transcendence — toward unmediated union with the divine. 4 ARTISTS Ragamala Dance Company was founded each brings her generational experience in 1992 by Ranee Ramaswamy.

It is surprisingly related today. The main theme of Shakespeare’s work is ‘LOVE’- ‘the blind fool’. He indirectly acknowledges there may be obstacles in true love and urges to marry with true ‘mind’ rather than merely two people. This love is a bold subject matter that has always lacked rules and always attracts controversy - specially within the strict norms of Asian Culture. These various challenges and obstacles make multistory-love-complex silently. Cinema woos audiences by offering this emotion. Modern Indian Cineme is already an indestructible massive field of art work which has been successfully taken the extract of the Shakespearean drama to serve the common. The literary works of Shakespeare reinvigorate uncountable people of the world. The unique excellence of Bard’s ‘violent delights’ and ‘violent ends’; excessive passion and love full of zeal; jealousy and romance; greed for empowerment and assassination; laughter and satire; aesthetic sensibility and of course the plot construction both in comedy and tragedy- are all time favourite to Bollywood screen.

  • Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music by Ashwini Kumar Rath
    Shankar Jaikishan – Emperors of Music By Ashwini Kumar Rath Shankar Jaikishan music, synonym of Indian Film music, has far reaching impact in India and outside. The duo moulded music and musical mood of masses since 1949, and are still considered to be the best music composers from India. The duo also contributed outside movie industry with their much celebrated album Raga in Jazz Style, and background music for documentary Everest expedition among many others. If we look at the popular impact by any personalities in the field of music during the post-independence period in India, the obvious choice is Shankar Jaikishan. Shankar, the more versatile of the two, was a prolific musician with mastery over dozens of instruments, Indian classical music and dance forms. He was primarily responsible for building Shankar Jaikishan team with dedicated lyricists, music assistants, and jumbo-sized 60-pieces orchestra, and was the lead composer. On the other hand, Jaikishan was incredibly creative and legendary composer himself. He was genius of background music and romantic tunes though he too could compose songs in other genres. While Shankar's musical jhankar propels divine dwellers to zoom in unison with ecstasy, romantic effervescence of Jaikishan music brings divine feelings on to earth. During initial years, all decisions about musical engagements were made by Shankar; but both started taking up assignments separately in the late sixties. They had sharp contrasts in personalities and physical appearances. Shankar was gym-savvy, non- drinker, and was a strict disciplinarian. On the other hand, Jaikishan was party-man and was very social.

  • Across Campus
    NORTHROP ACROSS CAMPUS Academic Engagement Through the Arts Photo by Melissa Bartz © University of Minnesota. Bartz © University of Photo by Melissa WELCOME Northrop Across Campus encourages University of Minnesota faculty and staff to have their classes of students interact with performances in the Northrop Season, incorporating the work performed on stage or in online performances with the classroom curriculum. Northrop normally provides complimentary tickets for your students to attend a live performance. However, the 2020-21 Northrop Season has very limited capacity in the theater so Northrop Across Campus is offering access to the online performances and live stream options. This program exemplifies Northrop’s commitment to enriching the student experience, promoting engagement beyond the classroom, and creating opportunities for cross-disciplinary dialogue. We believe that experiencing live performances and cultural events can deepen curriculum in unique and exciting ways and can offer an experience unlike any other on campus. This guide provides information about the curricular connections for each of the performances in the 2020-21 Northrop Season, which includes the Dance Series and the Pipe Organ Music Series, which will bring artists from all over the world to the Carlson Family Stage, as well as a special Film Series event. If you would like your class to learn from and interact with performance as part of Northrop Across Campus, please contact our Campus Engagement Team at [email protected]. We are happy to walk you through the process, discuss the academic connections, and help craft meaningful experiences for your students. We invite you to look at the possibilities available this academic year and to engage with all that Northrop has to offer.
