Arangetram Xinying Ng: Pushpanjali and Alarippu

Arangetram - The Gift by Ng Xinying (9 March 2013)
This is the debut performance in the Indian Classical style of bharatanatyam that announces the arrival of the dancer on the stage, achieving profession standards, after years of training.
Pushpanjali Raagam: Naatai Taalam: Adhi Choreograph by: Shankar Kandasamy
In the traditional temple ritual, vedic incantations or mantras are recited whilst offering flowers to the almighty for the welfare of humanity. The traditional dance repertoire or margam also commences with a flower offering: ‘pusha- anjali’ or pushpaanjali. The dancer opens with such an item keeping in rhythm to the internal meter of the vedas known as chandas.
Alarippu Raagam: Mohanam Taalam: Kandam
This item is the limbering sequence of a Bharathanatyam recital. It features the flowering process with the progressive limbering of the face and limbs, from the fingers, wrists and shoulder blades to the torso and lower limbs. The metaphor of alarippu is the grand offering of one’s entire body and mind to God.
