“The language of tabla is really graceful, full of different tempos, energies, and emotions. “Our goal is to present Indian classical music in a contemporary language that can be enjoyed by more people,” explains Rushi Vakil, performer and group leader of Talavya. View Tabla Ecstasy (now Talavya) and Jin (JoungJin) Won performing at the Zalk Theater last year: It engages the pure sonic energy of Indian traditions, the narrative possibilities of drums and dance, and the wide-open spaces for improvisation, creativity, and personal expression Indian arts offer. Each performance moves between rousing peaks and slower, smooth meditative passages not usually associated with percussion. The intensity and generosity of Talavya and Jin (JoungJin) Won keep to the spirit of Indian classical art, which is about devotion and not entertainment, while expanding its palette and its audience. The ensemble will be joined by accomplished Kathak (North Indian classical) dancer Jin (JoungJin) Won, who is also a tabla player, storyteller, and teacher, reflecting the deep unity of music and movement in Indian tradition. The ensemble, formerly known as Tabla Ecstasy, distills the age-old spirit and practice of tabla into a high-energy, highly accessible evening that reveals the instrument’s true joys.
Tabla comes center stage in the hands of the young, highly trained players of Talavya, a quartet that revels in the tabla’s hidden potency as a rhythmic and melodic instrument capable of expressing just about anything.
On Friday, September 16th, The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts and the Happy Valley Cultural Center, in association with The Ojai Foundation, will present Drums and Dance of India, featuring the tabla ensemble Talavya (formerly Tabla Ecstasy) and Kathak dancer Jin (JoungJin) Won, at the Zalk Theater.
