Traditional and Contemporary Dance Forms of Sri LankaThe administrator of the Channa - Upuli Dance Academy of Sri Lanka, Channa Wijewardene, is a reputed world renowned artiste. I have known Channa from his very early days as a student of the Maestro Chitrasena of the Chitrasena - Vajira Dance Academy. I remember Channa and his sister
Yamuna, coming home by bus after training sessions, with make up on their faces. With his childhood training at the Chitrasena - Vajira Academy of Dance, Channa made his way to the top with utmost dedication and persistence. Today his troupe of over forty performers has given a new dimension to the performing arts of Sri Lanka. Pics : Courtesy - Channa Wijewardene |
