Misc. Info: URL: www.wrage.de/kgs/03-00kb_earthmusic.htm, EARTH MUSIC & KATHAK TANZ. Der Fluss subtiler Energie und deren Manifestation in einem rhythmischen Zyklus wird die Besucher am dritten Freitag im Monat in der Christuskirche bezaubern. Bhramari Kathak ist ein meditativer Tanz, der sich durch Rhythmik, Bewegung und Mimik ausdrückt. Rita Panesar - ihr Vater ist Inder, die Mutter Deutsche - sagt: "Kathak zentriert, statt zu verausgaben". An den mittelalterlichen Höfen der Maharadschas haben die Meister des Kathak die ganze Nacht durchgetanzt. Der Abend in Hamburg beginnt mit Tanz und wird weitergeführt von einem der besten, auch in Indien anerkannten Tablamusiker Deutschlands. Zusammen mit einem weiteren Perkussionspieler und Querflötisten spannt er einen Bogen von indischer über mittelalterliche Musik bis hin zu modernen Eigenkompositionen. Die Tabla ist die Trommel der klassischen nordindischen Musik und wer diese gelernt hat, kann die Rhythmen sowohl sprechen als auch spielen. Mich haben die Sichtbarkeit der Energie, die Rita Panesar zwischen ihren Händen und in ihrer Mimik bewegt, und die wunderschöne indische Musik beeindruckt und berührt.
