Greetings and good wishes to Art lovers and Artistes the world over.
Rasoham offers a gamut of services ranging from the classical to the contemporary and folk.
A primary objective of Rasoham‟s has been to support families of several struggling artists and help their widows and children live with dignity. Apart from offering free tuition to several students through their classical wing-The Kalasamarpana Foundation (www.kalasamarpana.in), Rasoham assists a number of talented but needy artists pursue their dreams of a career in art.
Rasoham has taken up the difficult challenge of bringing together the worlds of classical folk genres. It has brought home the richness and intelligence of indigenous folk arts to the urban art student simultaneously offering these artists opportunities to spread their knowledge and make a living.
Rasoham regularly conducts workshops, lecture demonstrations, concerts, screenings and seminars on varied subjects enabling a lively interaction between stalwarts and learners of the art. Building a vibrant artists community that fulfills its social responsibility is Rasoham‟s aspiration.
The Kalasamarpana Foundation is now the classical wing of Rasoham’s run by the legendary dancers Narasimhachari & Vasanthalakshmi. You can visit the foundation at www.kalasamarpana.in.
Services Offered at The Kalasamarpana Foundation
Kalasamarpana Foundation was started by The Narasimhacharis in 1969. Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi, two major classical dance styles of South India and vocal music are being taught here. It is a rewarding experience to watch students, both Indian and Foreign, graduate from the institution, year after year. Many of them have established Schools of their own and have carved a niche for themselves in the field of Fine Arts. In addition to teaching, the Narasimhacharis have been performing professionally since 1969, and have travelled extensively. They have been striving to build a life dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in classical art. In the process of broadening and deepening their knowledge of dance, music and literature, they gave expression to as many as twenty eight dance-dramas on varied themes. These ranged from the mythological and historical to the contemporary and the abstract.
The K.S.F. offers courses in Bharatanatyam,Kuchipudi, Vocal Music and Nattuvangam.
Choreography offered for thematic presentations, dance-dramas or individual dance numbers.
Composing the music or jethis for a given composition.
Courses tailored to suit specific needs and requirement.
Work-shops on all the above subjects depending on the seriousness and merit of the offer.
Working in collaboration with fellow-artistes, Indian and Western, on interesting and challenging themes
“We realise that learning is an endless process and art helps one experience the joy of progress in life as well. We are gratified to find our daughters, Lavanya and Lasya, along with all our students, musicians and the rest of us at the K.S.F. family reciprocating this feeling.
Having dedicated our lives to the service of art, we hope to contribute substantially to the awareness of this beautiful medium through teaching and performing.”
