      Classical Indian dances usually seems like a blur of bright-colored saris and brilliant jewelry with some toe tapping music to the uninitiated. The 10-member troupe of Ramya Harishankars Abhinaya Dance Schoold bring something fresh and different while preserving an ancient art form. Pancha Maha Bhootham, which translates as Five Great Mystic Elements, is a dance choreographed strictly using the movement vocabulary of Bharata Natyam, classical Indian dance of South India. Instead of telling tales of the Gods and folk heros with hands and feet, as is more usual, this dance explores a few abstract yet tangible concepts: five elements of nature -- earth, air, fire, water and space. "Here the subject is universal,there is no need for a person to be familiar with Indian mythology to see this dance." Likewise, instead of the more typical brilliant colors, the beautiful costumes in the presentation will be in neutral hues of natures elements. All the focus is on the dance. Collapse
