Impressions 2022

COEP Impressions 2022 is based on one central theme revolving around the evolution of different art forms and is relevant to present times. Art is an integral part of our lives since ancient times. Art has different domains like music, dance, acting, painting, and many more with each having its different forms around the globe.

Most of the classical dance forms originated in temples with aim of worshipping. The roots can be traced from the Sanskrit text – ‘Natya Shastra’.

A dance that encompasses Bhav, Rag, Ras, and Taal is ‘Bharatanatyam’. Possibly, the oldest form of classical Indian dance follows the conception of Natya shastra in true spirit and is learned enthusiastically even today.

Kathak is one of India’s most charming dance forms revolving around Mahabharat and Ramayana themes.

Many dance forms evolved in the western continents too. Hip-hop developed in the United States in the early ’70s. The contemporary dance style is considered to also be related to ballet.

Salsa is a combination of several Cuban and American dances.

Indian classical music is monophonic in nature and based around a single melody line which is played over a fixed drone.

The performance is based melodically on particular ragas and rhythmically on talas. Purandara Dasa, known as the father (Pitamaha) of Carnatic music, formulated the fundamental lessons of Carnatic music resting on two main elements like Hindustani classical music, raga, and Taal. Many other forms of folk music, Natya sangeet, Lavani, and Qawwali over the years. Western music was composed by early settlers to the west of the US and Canada.

Jazz was developed in the southern US focusing on instrumental styles. The ‘Blues genre captures suffering and loneliness in the best way. Jazz developed in the United States in the very early part of the 20th century and was mostly for dancing.

Various types of paintings evolved in India like  Gond paintings and Kalighatpaintings. Madhubani in Bihar portrays culture, and Warli painting in Nashik illustrates the nature and social rituals of the tribe. These paintings also tell us the art-forms present in that specific era.
