AIM for Seva Presents Yatra by Malavika Sarukkai

AIM-for-Seva-Presents-Yatra-by-Malavika-Sarukkai - Play - Bangalore-1
 IM (All India Movement) for Seva is an NGO working to improve rural education. Realising that the principal barrier for rural children to attend school was access, AIM for Seva began to build Chatralayas or Free Student Homes(FSH) near schools to accomodate disadvantaged students. Today, the movement is spread across 15 states and has carried out over 130 projects to help rural and tribal children gain education. We house 3,000 resident students and an additional 30,000 others are being benefited. We plan to build 200 more such homes by 2020 in India s most remote and under served areas. Your financial, moral, and physical support will help achieve this target.

 
Dance, Concept and Choreography by Malavika Sarukkai. Another landmark presentation by renowned danseuse Malavika Sarukkai, Yatra describes a journey from the stillness of potentiality to the immense dynamism of spirituality, before coming full circle to rest once more in the womb of silence.The choreographies in Yatra are a form of dynamic meditation wherein the sacred is invoked in the dancing body and the space around it. The dance shifts from being a ‘performance’ to that of ‘experience’ both for dancer and the audience. Musically, Yatra traverses Sanskrit verses in the great tradition of the Srimad Bhagavatam to contemporary poetry. Malavika Sarukkai's work is celebrated by critics, connoisseurs and the general public alike, and her contribution to classical dance is acknowledged in the form of several awards including the Padmashree from the President of India.

The Carnatic Music Story - Journey Across Composers






Auditorium, Bangalore International Centre TERI Complex, 4th Main, 2nd Cross, Domlur II Stage, Bangalore – 560 071

About the theme
Carnatic Music derives its vast richness primarily through a treasure trove of compositions or "Kalpitha Sangeetham". Our composers have given us a large repertoire of compositional forms, raga interpretations, laya (rhythm) variations, languages and emotions. Different composers have interpreted the same raga differently; even the same composer has interpreted the raga differently in different compositions. This sheer variety and depth has shaped our understanding of ragas and of music at large. We hope to try and put ourselves in the minds of our great composers ("Vaggeyakaras") - could be pre-Trinity composers, the Trinity themselves, post Trinity composers and many rich contemporary composers.
We hope to - through this performance - undertake this journey how Carnatic Music has evolved over a period of time, how "composed music" by the greats really form the foundation of this great art form. The compositional content in Carnatic Music is sacrosanct and it also aids in the "kalpana" sangitam or the "creative" part of Carnatic Music.

Bengaluru Marathon 2014

Running in India has been growing by leaps and bounds over the years and Bengaluru is one of the cities leading this change. Bengaluru boasts of having the largest runners community in India and many Bengaluru runners across different age categories have been winning at the major marathon events in the country. Bengaluru has been referred to as the fitness capital of India. Having said that, the city doesn't have a world-class full and half marathon, until now.

After a long wait, Bengaluru finally has an Annual city marathon, which will take runners through important landmarks of the city. We believe this event will go a long way in further promoting running in the city and encourage a fit and healthy lifestyle.
