After watching yesterday's episode was wondering how much of an impact a concept has on choreography and vice-versa. Even if the concept is great, a misjudging of choreography or experimenting unnecessarily costs the dancers a performance
RKR -
1. After listening to the 'Gopeswar' mythology concept, my expectations were really high. Then came the damp fib, I was aghast to say the least. It could have been done so tastefully and elegantly.
Why is there a tendency to make a dancer wear uncomfortable attire which shows?
Why does one need circus acrobatry in the midst of a piece like this to show creativity, how could the dancers pull that off? I didn't feel bad for the team's master , I felt really bad for the contestants - such a waste of time and talent.
2. A concept '???' (was it dual persona or two sides of a coin) - choreography was okay, steps were good , something amiss and the performance lacking although I really liked Nikki tasha in this.
TKT -
1. A simple concept ' Beauty is skin deep' - choreography was heartfelt, moves and steps were precise. Everything just fit and voila a lovely performance. Kunwar was exceptional, Shakti was good as expected.
2. Another concept ' Comittment phobia' - choreography was okay, steps were good. A heartfelt emotion lacking. Parvez was good - Kruti is the most underrated dancer of the lot.
GKG -
1. A filmy concept 'Saathiya' - choreography was weak, a copy of many steps over the episodes of all the masters. Binny and Kishore were good , no chance to prove themselves- the bar is set too low.
On that note, just like teachers in school and the favoritism bit. Even in dance the masters play favorites and it's obvious in the concept/choreography assigned to performers.
Anyone agree or disagree.
