To celebrate 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence, Bengal Foundation organised Srijone O Shekore, a 5-day arts festival, from 14 to 18 December 2021, at Bengal Shilpalay, Dhaka. Supported by BRAC Bank, the festival featured performing arts, visual art, crafts, books, film, readings, and events for children. Over 300 singers-musicians-dancers-craftspersons-artists performed on stage and engaged in various kinds of programming at the festival, over the five days.
The second day of the Srijone o shekore festival saw a delightful set of Kathak dance numbers presented by the students of Rewaz Peformers School. The performance was directed by noted dancer and choreographer Munmun Ahmed.
Rewaz Performers’ School began its journey in 1994 under the leadership and direction of its founder, Kathak exponent Munmun Ahmed. The school has since been regarded as one of the premier dance institutions in Bangladesh. Munmun Ahmed completed higher studies and training in Kathak under the legendary Pandit Birju Maharaj at Kathak Kendra, New Delhi. Alongside Kathak, which is the principal form of dance taught at Rewaz Performers’ School, Munmun Ahmed also teaches choreography based on Kazi Nazrul Islam and Rabindranath Tagore’s music. As the key instructor and choreographer for the school, Munmun Ahmed has trained numerous students over the past twenty-seven years, many of whom have established themselves as leading dancers in different parts of the world.
