(Bhavta Harrielall)
The Rangmanch Pravesh of Bhavta Harrielall, a student of
Pravika's Kathak Kendra will take place on January 11 at Sibaya’s iZulu Theatre.
Nandini Bookhan (Pravika Nandkishore) is a highly respected
dancer who has performed for Presidents of South Africa and India as well as
Queen Elizabeth II of England. She showed a keen interest in Kathak and began
lessons with her mother, Leela Nandkishore, at a tender age of five. It was
imperative that she study abroad in order to quickly grasp this art form. She then began to make yearly trips to India
studying under reputable dance gurus like Dr RoshanKumari, Kathak Queens
Jayanti mala and her mother padmashree Dr (Smt) Sitaradevi.
She made first trip abroad at the age of 12 to spend six
months in Mauritius with Kathak expert and choreographer Anna Patten. She then
began to make yearly trips to India studying under reputable dance gurus like
Dr RoshanKumari, Kathak Queens Jayanti mala and her mother padmashree Dr (Smt) Sitaradevi.
“I write with great
honour and pride today knowing that Kathak is passed on, in its purest form, to
a worthy recipient, Bhavta Harrielall,” says Nandini Bookhan who
performs under the name of Pravika Nandkishore. “Having studied Kathak in India from various gurus, each an expert in
their own field, makes me feel worthy of
their training and guidance... as what is the point of learning so much, if not to pass it on to the next generation?”
Bhavta Harrielall’s Rangmanch Pravesh sees her crossing the threshold to a whole new level of dance
after a strenuous period of training.
The performance will take place on January 11 from 16h00 to
18h00 at the iZulu Theatre at Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom. For
