Prabha Atre – In Memoriam
Prabha Atre (13 September 1932 – 13 January 2024)
Urged by the creator Shivaangee Agrawal to take some time to explore the Akademi Archives (a Heritage Lottery funded project), I grudgingly accepted the nudge. Once I began, I was hooked.
Creating a community of common interest while being immersed in something that gives pure pleasure, has been our experience of developing the Dancing in the Kitchen night with DJ Ritu.
The state of being we explored in the third week was Karuna, ‘Compassion’, with two very sensitive artists, contemporary dancer Gizem Aksu and photographer Nirvair Singh Rai. Aakash introduced Nirvair as his friend and mentor.
Diksha Sharma, in the recent call-out for writers, sent Pulse a response to the article Old Stories for New Generations on New Jersey-based dancer Ishita Milli, written by Gemma Connell in Pulse 138, Autumn 2017.
