ಭಾವ ನವನವೀನ । Bhava Navanaveena

Dr. GS Shivarudrappa
Bhava Navanaveena is the final presentation of the festival where we would pay our tributes to Rashtrakavi Dr. G S Shivarudrappa by composing few of his poems and staging a dance ballad around the same.  We plan to feature poems which have attained fame and also hidden gems which we cherish in fathoms of our heart.  Team Prakasam’s in-house composers, dancers and choreographers would create this 100% original production.

Poems composed to be performed on the occasion are
  • Belaku Hariyitu, composed and sung by Ranjitha S
  • Aashada, composed and sung by Ranjitha S
  • Haaraike, composed and sung by Ranjitha S
  • Madhura milana, composed and sung by Malaviaka B
We have choreographed two of his famous poems
  • Haadu haleyadaadarenu from the movie Manasa Sarovara, Singer - Vani Jayaram & music composed by Vijayabhaskar
  • Navodayada kirana leele, Singers - Sarada Bhagavatula & Latha Ganti
All dances are choreographed by Nirmitha Jagadish, Soumya Mallikarjuna, Rajashri.  Dancers for the evening are Khuldeepak Nararyanana, Swathi S S, Namana Udupa, K Hima Shruthi and Gururaj Kheni.

Rashtrakavi Dr. Guggari Shanthaveerappa Shivarudrappa or fondly known to all Kannada literary fans as GSS, is a poet of phenomenal significance for the new generation Kannadiga's.  He is prominent among the small band of scholars who have negotiated ancient Kannada literature from the perspective of a modern literary critic and a historian. He has not evinced much interest in elementary disciplines such as textual criticism and manuscriptology. He has not pursued disciplines like prosody and grammar in a mechanical manner. However, he has examined literary works in their cultural context and made a successful attempt to make them relevant in the modern society. His erudition in Indian Poetics, Western Poetics and literary theory has enabled him to use literary critical tools in the analysis of ancient texts. More on Wikipedia

Some of his poems are on this blog about Kannada Bhavageete's - http://kannadabhavageetegalu.blogspot.in/search/label/GSS

We at Prakasam selected the following poems and have composed them to dance ballads as our tribute to the departed legend.

Katha Sangama "Bouquet of Stories"

We are so used to instant food, job, friendship, money we are also bombarded with requests for short plays. We now have successfully prepared the “Bouquet of Stories” exclusively for you. Marking the 100th birth anniversary of Kodagina Gowramma , the gallant feminist writer at her times (1912-1939) we are staging her short story too as part of this festival.  The play is in Kannada and the exquisite selection of the stories will make you want more.

We sincerely hope that you will have a blast watching this as we have creating this performance piece for you. We enclose a small brief below of the stories to give you a better idea of the performances. We have interwoven six stories, running around the ...
