Video titled ‘Chachaji’ to be released online on Saturday
‘Chachaji’, as India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru is popularly known, has quite a fan following among children, who pay tribute to him on his birth anniversary on November 14, observed as Children’s Day. But this time, a few teachers from different parts of the State are also paying tribute to Nehru in the form of a dance presentation. A three-minute dance video prepared by them is to hit the web on Saturday.
The video titled ‘Chachaji’ has been brought out under the banner of Sraavanika, a collective of school teachers across the State. The video features Sukanya P., a teacher of Sree Ramakrishna Mission Higher Secondary School in Kozhikode, depicting a few lines on Nehru through classical dance mudras. What makes the video different is that it is not music that she is dancing to, but to prose.
“Most dance videos are music-based. We thought why not present prose in a rhythm in place of music, so that the focus will be on the meaning depicted through the mudras,” said Ms. Sukanya.
