INTRODUCTION

This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observer within a particular culture.

NRITYASHALA

Indian Classical Dance

Indian classical dance or ‘Shastriya Devash’ is an umbrella term for various performance art rooted in religious Hindu musical theatre styles, whose theory and practice can be traced to the Sanskrit text Natya Shastra. The number of recognised classical dance categorised into eight forms naming Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Odissi, Sattriya, Mohiniyattam, Kathakali and Manipuri.

Traditions

Archaeologically evidence for early dance include 9000 year old painting in India at the Rock shelters of Bhimbetka and Egyptian tomb paintings depicting dancing figures dated 3300 BC.

NRITYASHALA

❖ The project purpose is Nrityashala and cultural complex, Gurugram, Haryana. The Municipal Corporation of gurugram proposes Nrityashala and cultural complex on a 10 acres land in sector 53, Gurugram, Haryana.

❖ This project is combination of two parts namely Nrityashala academy and cultural complex. Firstly, Nrityashala reference to the traditional dance, art of India originating in the temple and still devoted to the enactment of divine epics and embracing an elaborate system of body posture, hand gesture and foot movement.

❖ Therefore Nrityashala is an academy of performing ancient Indian arts. Cultural can be defined as the ideas, customs or social behaviour of a particular people or society. Cultural is the characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. The word “cultural” derives from a French term which in derives from the Latin “Colere” which means to tend to the earth and grow or cultivation and nurture.

❖ Therefore, a cultural complex may be defined as a platform of different cultural activities, social gathering and different exhibitions. With the cities growing into urban culture, the need for the growth of a cultural complex and public spaces in the corporate city is often ignored. Therefore, the emphasis is to establish the link between the city and the cultural complex. Also, to generate the new landmark for Gurugram. To create a holistic environment for learning, teaching and performing arts and spaces.

❖ Due to these reasons, the Nrityashala and Cultural Complex is being proposed by Municipal Corporation of Gurugram to make people aware of their culture and traditional Dance of India.

The real story is truly interrupted when old by an individual. The unfolding narration of a physical a verbal or expressive interpretation being to surface the essence of storytelling. There are several ways in which to reiterate a stories such as book, movie, music, etc.

Stories in this understanding can be fiction or non fiction and have to be with real life experience. Story telling is a large part of everyone’s life we tell stories several times a day. We also pay a great deal of money to see plays operas, which are condition of living live storytelling. As humans we strive to have human interaction and for drama.

HYPOTHESIS

NARRATORIUM

OBJECTIVE

THESIS 2022-23

To provoke conservation on the theme of story telling, walking and urban identity. The idea of narratorium an institution dedicated to nurturing the myth of the city is inspired by the potency of narrative as a communal currency, as a primary means of human expression through oral and literally tradition of telling tales. In the midst of the many institute that support the other art- the museum, the theatre, the concert hall, the library, the movie house and so on.

AIM

Storytelling has more to do with a human interaction. Having that human contact with someone, rather than a false way of communication. To truly understand the stories in its full context we need to have the physical manifestation. Seeing the persons expressions and gesture add many details to the story.

Narratorium should comprise not only place to tell these stories but also casual place to allow for interaction to occur to create story and also for storytelling.

SCOPE

Create a site originate architecture ▪

▪

Gives an opportunity to experiment by depicting the architecture in a transitional manner through movement, design, material and the structure with respect to the context. ▪ Uses of site specific and locally available material being in abundance.
