In the footsteps of the Monks of Majuli with Geeorgie Pope


Local grassroots clubs sport new kits thanks to The Maltings


Pontyclun Under 14’s.


Telling stories through dance dramas is a tradition that goes back some 500 years in the region


of North East


India known as Assam. The stories are about Krishna and his exploits and at festivals each year dance combined with masks and music and elaborate costume are still performed for the public at the monasteries, retelling the Krishna tales. The dances practised by the monks


have been recognised as a distinct artform known as Sattriya dance. Georgie Pope has studied literally at the feet of the monks at Majuli Island in Assam for her PhD research at King’s College, London and she will be giving two introductory workshops on Saturday 29 July, one for beginners, the other for those with some experience of dance (of any kind!).


The


workshops, open to all ages, give a very special


opportunity to learn some positions which form the basic grammar of this unique dance form and put together a short dance. This is a fantastic opportunity to try a form of Indian dance, with its own unique Assamese style.


The dance workshop is at


The Drill Hall,


Chepstow on 29th July. Tickets £5/£7. For more information call Chepstow Museum on 01291 625981
