IN FALL OF 2022 AND WINTER OF 2023 KATHA DANCE THEATRE TOURED TO FARIBAULT AND MANKATO, MN WITH IT'S PRODUCTION OF KATHAK YATRA - THE JOURNEY OF KATHAK DANCE THROUGH HISTORY. IT OFFERED THE VIEWER A GLIMPSE OF THE EVOLUTION OF KATHAK DANCE THROUGHOUT INDIA'S HISTORICAL ERAS. STARTING FROM THE TEMPLE PERIOD, THROUGH THE ROYAL COURTS OF THE KINGS AND THE EMPERORS, TO TODAY'S PROSCENIUM STAGES! THE WORD KATHAK IS DERIVED FROM THE SANSKRIT WORD KATHA, MEANING "A STORY." RHYTHMIC FOOTWORK, FAST PIROUETTES, AND COMPLEX MOVEMENTS CHARACTERIZE THIS GRACEFUL SPONTANEOUS DANCE. THE FORM HAS ITS ORIGIN IN THE NARRATIVE TRADITION OF THE VILLAGE MINSTREL, THE 'KATHAKARS', WHO SANG SONGS OF HEROIC TALES AND DRAMATIZED THEIR LYRICS WITH SUBTLE GESTURES AND EXPRESSIONS. AROUND THE 16TH CENTURY AD, THE ART CAME FROM THE TEMPLES TO THE ROYAL COURTS, WHERE IT ACQUIRED SECULAR ELEMENTS OF SOPHISTICATION, ESPECIALLY IN ITS PURE DANCE PASSAGES. IT ALSO REPRESENTED A UNIQUE SYNTHESIS OF BOTH HINDU AND MUSLIM CULTURES, BLESSING KATHAK WITH A UNIQUE BALANCE OF APPROACH THAT MAKES IT THE MOST NATURAL OF ALL INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE FORMS.
