Imphal, December 17 2014:
Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy premiered its dance drama Ahangkar Venus at the academy's auditorium with Government Consultant RK Nimai as chief guest and Art and Culture Secretary K Radhakumar as the functional president.
JN Dance Academy's director Opendro Singh, during his speech at the premier show, said that the dance drama was choreographed by the senior dancers of the academy.
JN Dance Academy has produced various dance dramas before, many of which received nation-wide appreciation, the director added.
RK Nimai, during his speech said the State is known to the world for its rich art and culture and its excellence in sports.
When news reports on sports are circulated widely to the people via media, reports concerning arts and culture are lesser publicised.
RK Nimai said that the State must pay more attention to art and culture as well.
K Radhakumar said that the success of a dance drama or any art form demands dedication from the artists.
An art form would become popular only when the artistes work hard with dedication, he added.
The dance drama was choreographed and directed by S Noyonsakhi.
