Shovana Narayan has acquired fame the world
over as one of India's
premier Kathak dancers. Performing extensively
over the past three decades both as a soloist and
as a lead dancer in her own choreographic works,
Shovana has constantly displayed a penchant for
extending the frontiers of her classical art by
portraying innovative themes and participating in
inter-disciplinary ventures with other dancers and
musicians, without forsaking the purity of her own
tradition.
Shovana's journey in dance began at the early
age of 4 and was shaped by renowned masters of the
Lucknow and Jaipur gharanas -- two of the major
schools recognized within the genre of Kathak. She
is one of the best known alumni to emerge from the
portals of New Delhi's Kathak Kendra, India's
national institute for Kathak dance. Among others,
one of the foremost gurus who shaped her art is the
doyen Birju Maharaj, a most illustrious teacher and
performer who is credited with bringing to Kathak a
new impetus and refinement and largely shaping its
identiy as a proscenium art over the last four
decades.
As a teacher in her own right, Shovana imparts to
her pupils not only the nuances of the art but also
her concerns for life's problems and her commitment to make a constructive contribution to society,
along with a message of love & trust, which make an
artist human.
