My first brush with Uday Shankar was while
watching a black and white piece on Doordarshan called “Kalpana”(imagination)
with my grandmother in law. The short film was mesmerizing in its use of light
and shade and dance movements. The next piece was on the “Industrial revolution”,
also a very interesting choreography. After that I became a regular lurker at
all of the performances by the Shankar family. His legacy is still being
carried out by his wife (Amala Shankar), daughter (Mamata Shankar) and his
daughter in law (Tanusree Shankar).
