Creativity is the quality one brings to an activity , it is an attitude, an inner approach.
Creativity means loving whatsoever one does , enjoying, celebrating it - OSHOWe consider ourselves creative artists using classical dance as a media to realize our visions, our dreams , our LOVE.
Dance is not just a performing art ,but CELEBRATION OF LIFE ! We believe -Artist creates out of noble purpose of sharing Joy & Aesthetics with the world.
Artist tears himself to bring in excellence in every aspect.All efforts an artist makes is for the LOVE of Art & NOT for any benefits of Fame or Finances.
The Art lover relishes it, enjoys it & participates in the celebrations .
Everything is beautiful ,audiences go into raptures & even honor the performances with standing ovation.While both the artists & Art lovers are still enjoying that bliss comes disappointing reviews in the newspaper which is the reason for my scribbles.
It has raised some questions & emotions in me.
This is my response to the recent review/article/reports given in some newspapers & online portals on our production Kathakitathom that was staged recently in Chowdiah Memorial Hall, Bangalore.Questions :
Do the reviewers have any clue at all of the work ? its vision ,purpose, process ,effort ,challenges?
A work that takes herculean efforts for two years ( of making) & number of hours of vigorous practise is covered as an average , mediocre report in the review & given to the millions of readers !!!
What is the purpose of any review/report if it cannot feel the depth of the work.
Where does the vision of reaching quality art to the world stand when critics do not recognize the worth of a work.
How do all those million readers who did not come to the program feel the same joy that the whole auditorium experienced if they read an ordinary report ?As it is there is such limited interest for classical arts & when good creative energies flow through new works why are the eyes & hearts of critics not receptive ?CAN ART CRITICS BECOME FRIENDS OF ART ? It would be great if the reviewer could be part of the creative process of a new work before writing about it.
Then he can be more empathetic towards Art.Whether the works gets published or not DOES NOT MATTER.
What matters is that it will lead to deeper understanding of the work.
