Chhau Dance
It was not without a generous reason that the UNESCO articulated Chhau move as tricky social heritage of mankind. Ace Shashadhar Acharya, a master Chhau teacher, and a Sangeet Natak Akademi allow recipient, a fifth time Chhau craftsman, starting late presented a multi day heightened getting ready in Chhau to energetic understudies at Raka Maitra's foundation in Singapore. Here he takes two or three request moving casing:
What is the story of Chhau move?
The verifiable scenery of Chhau move is unusually connected with the recorded background of the past rajahs of Seraikela — the Singh Deo rulers, a significant part of whom were performers and choreographers themselves. In 1205 A.D. a kingdom had been set up by the Singh Deos at Porahat. The inhabitants included Adivasis, some of whom were searchers while others were agriculturists. The ruler passed on people of other position social affairs to settle in the area. They conveyed nearby them Paikas or warriors. In the wake of practicing the specialty of battling they would draw in themselves by singing and moving. As appropriate on time as the sixteenth Century, Bikram Singh Deo, a relative of the Porahat rulers, developed the State of Seraikela on the banks of the Khai Kei.
What is your story in association with Chhau?
From early youth I have been brought up amidst Chhau craftsmen. My father Lingoraj Acharya was himself a Chhau craftsman and my lord. The Acharyas out of the blue were passed on to Seraikela to be 'Raj Purohits' or ministers. My distinctive teachers were Guru Kedarnath Sahu, Rajkumar Suddhendra Narayan Singh Deo, B.B. Patnaik, and Guru Bikram Kumbhakar.
Why are covers used as a piece of Chhau?
I think Chhau covers were given the objective that you could ignore your certifiable identity and get into the part you were delineating. At first these spreads were made of leaves, by then wood came in, trailed by pumpkin skin, by then compartment and thatmora and bamboo, et cetera.
Would you characterization portray Chhau as a customary move shape and what are the subjects usually used?
Chhau is individuals, ordinary and contemporary, all combined into one. It is a significantly thought secured move, where verbalization is through non-verbal correspondence, where attitudes and conclusions are showed up through member improvements and exquisite head and neck advancements. It has progressed from a military compelling artwork. The 108 karanas of the Natya Shastra are called upalayas in Chhau. The subjects of these moves go from parts of the ordinary world, to remove verbalizations. 'Mayur' move is an exceptional creation. 'Nabik' delineates a couple investigating through the surge of life. Subjects have been taken from legends, for instance, 'Ratri' — an indication of Durga, symbolizing both peace and the shocking — from the twelfth adhyay of the Rig Veda. The subject was made contemporary by procuring the character of 'Night', as a picture of 'Bharatiya Nari' who lights a light each night to welcome 'Kalrupi Ratri'. The character of 'Chand' — moon — was joined to exhibit the relationship of the two.
What is the music of Chhau?
Late Bijay Pratap Singh Deo started the usage of Hindustani built up ragas and chhanda. Society music is in like manner used. Different instruments, for instance, shehnai, woodwind, dhol, khol, maddal, nagada, dhumsa, korka, et cetera run with the specialists.
What do you feel is your responsibility?
I have been instrumental in bringing Chhau from the outside execution region to the proscenium sort out. I have influenced the music to pivotal without changing the state of mind of Chhau.
Do you think Chhau is practically end?
The Sangeet Natak Akademi began another endeavor, in 1998, to coordinate spine into it. Thankful ought to similarly be given to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization for declaring Chhau as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Acharya Chhau Nritya Bichitra started by Lingoraj Acharya in 1980, has been picked as one of the instructional center points by SNA under its endeavor to encourage Chhau. Pratap Aditya Singh Deo has accepted the obligation of continuing with the Chaitra Parva Chhau Festival (held mid-April) at Seraikela, which is grabbing in pervasiveness reliably.
I have plans to open a center in Kolkata other than being an Ambassador of Chhau in outside soils.
