Summary: The 4th International Odissi Dance Festival in 2011 was held from December 23 to 30, 2011, at Rabindra Mandap Bhubaneswar. The festival was preceded by an attempt to create a world record by having around 550 dancers perform together at Kalinga Stadium. It saw the participation of most major Odissi ensembles in Orissa and a few from outside the state. With performances for over twelve hours each day, the festival featured several hundred performers in solo, duet and group works over eight days. In its scale, the festival offered a bird's eye view of the landscape of contemporary Odissi and its ever-changing nature. It foregrounded new trends in choreography, music and costuming. The seminars during the festival sparked lively debates on issues and concerns in Odissi. One such concern, voiced repeatedly, questioned the definition of tradition within the space of the dance form and the limits it could be stretched to. This raised parallel questions about innovation and experimentation in Odissi - a debate that found itself mirrored in the performances during the festival.
Daughter of a senior pakhawaj player of Delhi, Shri Gandhi Mallik, Sudha has been studying Odissi since 1992 under Smt. Madhavi Mudgal at the Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, New Delhi. Sudha has passed the Visharad Poorna examination of the Akhil Bhartiya Gandharva Mahavidyalaya Mandal in Odissi dance. She is a empaneled artist of ICCR and has toured extensively with her guru as part of her dance troupe. She has attended dance workshops conducted by Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra periodically at the Vidyalaya and by other leading gurus like Guru Leela Samson and Guru Banamali Maharana. As a faculty member of Gandharva Mahavidyalaya,she has been teaching Odissi dance and assisted her guru in her classes.
Here she performs Chhayanat Pallavi, a composition of Madhavi Mudgal. The music is by Madhup Mudgal.
