This is the first time that the people who throng DD Colony Road in Korukkupet’s JJ Nagar, witness a Bharatanatyam recital. Dancers from Radhika Vairavelavan’s Chathurlakshana Academy of Fine Arts are performing as part of the Chennai Kalai Theru Vizha. The audience breaks into loud applause when the dancers match their steps and abhinaya to TM Krishna’s ‘Porambokku’ song. Which is why the Chennai Kalai Theru Vizha is a positive intervention. “We need such programmes, there are lots of people in the interiors of this colony we can involve.”The Bharatanatyam dancers warm up to the response.
