Core Elements of Kathak Kavita Composition - Kathak Kavita compositions utilize specific, constant tempos, typically fast-paced, composed within a Taal (cycle of beats) where words follow the Taal's structure [1] - Kavita compositions in Kathak primarily use Sanskrit, Awadhi, or Hindi literature, often describing gods and goddesses, serving as the subject matter's conduit [1] - Percussive bols (rhythmic syllables) from instruments like the Pakhawaj or Tabla, along with sounds like "ta thei tat thei," enhance the emotion and storytelling in Kavita compositions [1] - A Tihai, a phrase repeated thrice, concludes any rhythmic composition in Kathak [1] - Emotion (Ras) dictates the literature and bols used, conveying the essence of the Kavita [1] - Choreography transforms vocal compositions with hand gestures, body movements, spins, footwork, and facial expressions, bringing the story to life for viewers [1] Significance of Kavita in Kathak - Kathak began as a storytelling medium, now performed as a recital with various compositions; Kavita is both rhythmic and expressive [1] - Unlike rhythmic compositions requiring briskness and Abhinaya compositions needing subtle nuances, Kavita demands both from the dancer [1] - Through Kavita, the writer and dancer can educate, entertain, and evoke emotions in the audience [1] Literary and Rhythmic Aspects - Kavita compositions can be composed in specific Taals, such as a Shiv Kavita in Dhamaar Taal (14 beats) with divisions of 5-2-3-4 [1] - Kavita can be composed in decimal Taals, such as a Taal of 22 and a half beats, divided into 12 and 10 and a half [1] - Kavita compositions can be composed in a specific Jaati (groove), following the Taal's structure with syllables per beat as per the composition's groove [1] - Kavita compositions use figures of speech like alliteration (Anupras Alankar in Hindi literature), as seen in Krishna and Ardhanarishwar Kavit [1] Educational Nature - Kavita can educate about Indian history, such as excerpts from the Ramayana, exemplified by Guru's Sita Swayamvar Kavita [1]

I want to start with a moment. It was the end of a 70our hike. My legs felt like rubber and my skin had become one with my socks.I haven't seen a single patch of dry trail all day. And my raincoat was just for show at this point. Everything I had was soaked with one of Beijing's most relentless rainstorms in recent history.It was a Duke of Edinburgh's hike. It's one of those things you sign up thinking that it's going to be a fun little hike um away from school, from homework. However, I didn't go in there ...

[Applause] The music scene is difficult in part because it's tough to play music. Well, there's that feeling of being totally vibed, getting the stink eye from other players in the orchestra or on the band stand. Have you ever experienced that.In the arts and music fields, it's easy to get beaten down. I wonder if that's why so many college graduates drop out of their dream careers as artists. But I'm just not sure it has to be this way.Even the great jazz saxoponist Charlie Parker when he was young face ch ...
