This was one of the amazing experiences - working with the absolutely dedicated troupe of dancers of the Rujuta Soman Cultural Academy. As an experimentation for both, the performers and the director of "Rajhansa" - a Kathak Ballet, it turned out to be one of those enriching experiences that you seldom have. It was a combination of the Kathak dance and graphic art in an effort to reach out to the audience; and in a way, simplify the narrative of the traditional dance form.
P.S. It was a challenge to match the artwork with the elegance of these dancers which was happily accepted.
Here are a few concept drawings and backgrounds done for the same...
