 Born in the family of hereditary dancers,
Birju Maharaj is the torch bearer of the famous
family, Kalka-Bindadin Gharana of Lucknow, which
has been serving the art of Kathak dance through
centuries together. Not only in India, he is
familiarly known abroad, nearly all over the
world. He has extensively toured all over the
world, i.e. USSR, USA, Japan, UAE, UK, France,
Germany, Italy, Aaustria, Czechoslovakia, Burma,
Ceylon etc. for performances as well as
lecture-demonstrations. Besides being a superb
dancer, he is also gifted with a number of other
qualities which add to his artistic career.
Birju Maharaj is also a very talented singer.
He has an exceptional command over Thumri, Dadra,
Bhajan and Ghazals. A superb drummer, Birju Maharaj
plays nearly all kinds of drums with ease and
precision.
Birju Maharaj has given a new dimension to Kathak, by experimenting
this technique in the application of dance-dramas,
which has become very successful medium for mass
propagation. As a choreographer he is the finest in
the country today.
He directed and composed music and sung playback for
two classical dance sequences in the film, 'The
Chess Players' directed by Satyajit Ray.
His bold and intellectual compositions in traditional
themes are brilliant, whereas his contemporary works
are also refreshing in concept, crisp and
entertaining. |
