Fun and Frolics
In his lifetime, Rabindranath Tagore penned some rare ‘nonsense’ rhymes numbering about 300, in seven slim books. These verses have seldom been known outside Bengal and never rendered through performing arts: even in Bengal.
Shri Utpal K Banerjee has rendered them into rhymed English verses, which have now been published by the Sahitya Akademi in four volumes under the generic title: Rainbow Rhymes of Tagore. A selection out of these English verses will be visualised – in innovative classical forms by the following well-known choreographer-dancers
Purva Dhanasree in Vilasini Natyam; Kavita Dwivedi in Odissi; Pratibha Prahlad in Bharatanatyam; and Saswati Sen in Kathak
