Kuchipudi dancer, Samidha Satyam, a talented disciple of Guru Padmabhushan Dr. Vempati Chinna Satyam and Guru Sri Kishore Mosalikanti, gave a skillful rendition of popular Dayananda Saraswathi composition Bho Shambo, replete with statuesque poses and rhythmic flourishes.
While there are many Kuchipudi performances to be seen in the US, it is easy to see that quality is often rather sadly sidelined. It was therefore a treat to see a dancer showing the form to its best potential. Samidha Satyam is a talented Kuchipudi performer that possesses the rigorous stamina, flexibility and grace that the dance form demands. That she possesses these qualities and adds the appearance of effortlessness and finesse makes her a "must-see." Satyam chose to present Kishore Mosalikanti's choreography, known for taking the form in new directions. She began with "Shiva Shiva Bhava Bhava" a tarangam that moves the item away from themes on Krishna. Satyam sparkled in her depiction of the dynamic and mighty river Ganga, who will eventually be trapped in Shiva's hair. The piece ended with the hallmark of a tarangam, the dance on the brass plate, and Satyam showed no signs of tiring despite the demanding and required energy for the piece. Her next and final item was a Balamurali Krishna Thillana (Beehag raagam). Again, Satyam did not compromise in any aspect, and the result was a high speed, dynamic combination of nritta and nritya.
