On 14th Feb 2009, I saw one performance of Bharatanatyam, of reputed dancer. That made me to think as to why the excellent dancers forget their weight and girth , while performing, though they might have had excellent physique at their lime light times.
Of course they do not forget to design adavus to match their physique and manage the so called Nrutha. Can that be hidden from the audience. Still people attend to have the peep of their abhinaya.

While it is very important to try and maintain one's physical comdition ( esp a dancer ) , I feel even age plays a major role for a dancer to put on / lose weight. After a certain age, it becomes very difficult to lose weight.
ReplyDeleteYes, these dancers may have designed adavus to suit themselves, and according to me, this is a smart move. Supposing they perform tough adavus, obviously it wont be so vigorous, thereby convincing the audience that they ' have lost it !! '
If a dancer has to survive amidst such tough competition, or even worse, make a living, they should come up with such techniques to keep themselves in the 'radar'. We can call these techniques as 'anti-wrinkle creams', which works with only a few, while with others it worsens
