Parikrama Offers Valuable Insights Into Dance

It was celebrated as a four-day festival in Pune, organised by her daughter Arundhati Patwardhan and the Kalavardhini Parikrama offers valuable insights into dance institute which is now 30 years old.

Parikrama 2018 began on Sucheta’s birthday on 6 December, with her traditional Bharatanatyam presentation. This was followed by felicitations by eminent personalities like Hridaynath Mangeshkar, Sunil Kothari, C.V. Chandrasekhar, Darshana Jhaveri, Bhushan Gokhale and Madhur Bajaj. Kalavardhini students honoured their guru with a traditional arati of 70 diyas (oil lamps) and took her blessings. A CD of Vyomagami—a film by Amrita Mahadik on Sucheta Chapekar’s dance journey—and an English translation of her book titled Nrityatmika were released. There was also a screening of excerpts from the last 10 years of the Parikrama festival. The evening concluded with a crisp and brilliant presentation of Nrityaganga by my guru Sucheta accompanied by her able team of musicians.

D.C. POSTCARD WATCH YOUR STEP

A complaint for negligence, recently filed in the District of Columbia, describes what it calls “The Longstanding Hole in the Sidewalk in front of the IRS building.” The document offers a capsule history of the six-inch-deep, eight-inch-wide circular void in the tax agency’s sidewalk. Around September of 2011, the hole was filled with cement. By the summer of 2015, the cement had been removed. Orange cones subsequently appeared around the hole. That November, D.C.’s Department of Transportation determined that the hole needed to be filled, “contingent upon funding and weather.” A month later, the department referred the hole-filling job to the feds. Cones remained around the hole, off and on, through 2017. Years passed. The cones disappeared, along with Presidential Administrations and the Bed Bath & Beyond franchise. The hole in the sidewalk remained.

THE PICTURES PERIOD CORRECT

When Miyako Bellizzi was designing the costumes for “Marty Supreme,” the new Josh Safdie movie, she spent a lot of time thinking about Timothée Chalamet’s underwear. His character, Marty, a Ping-Pong champ from the Lower East Side, might have worn a one-piece union suit, the conventional male undergarment of 1952, when the movie is set. But boxers and briefs were just coming into style, and although most of Marty’s shabby wardrobe was likely a few years old, Bellizzi opted to put him in the newfangled undies. She explained her logic: “It’s kind of like how our grandmothers aren’t wearing thongs, but we are.” (She added, “And, to be honest, the union suit is not the greatest look, right?”)
