Supratim Talukder is a Bharatanatyam dancer who attributes his dancing prowess to the Gods.
“If you want me to learn dance, mama — only from this teacher will I learn.” Eight-year-old Lakshman ran over to show his mother a YouTube video featuring his new hero: Bharatanatyam dancer Supratim Talukder. But what captivated this little Polish boy? In fact, what prompts the ever-expanding list of glowing comments on Supratim’s YouTube channel? And beyond these, there have also been generous offers of patronage.
Supratim’s decision to pursue dance more seriously took root as a young teen. Under the tutelage of various dance gurus, he honed his talent, eventually obtaining the highest mark in post-graduate studies in dance, with a minor in theatre, at Rabindranath Bharati University, Kolkata.But beyond his impressive educational accomplishments — what proof is there of Supratim’s ability to connect with an audience? Half a million views. Fifteen-thousand likes.
Supratim’s unique power to connect with his audience is especially evident in live performances. His interpretation of Sri Vaibhav Arekar’s Ardhanarishvara at the Uday Shankar Dance Festival in 2019 brought the audience to their feet with thunderous applause and was highly acclaimed by the critics as well. Supratim describes this performance as “the sweetest eleven minutes of my life”.
The natural world is a perennial inspiration. Wandering the Himalayan foothills in Sikkim, exploring the ocean floor in the Andaman Islands, or standing on the banks of the river near his family home — Supratim derives creative energy from these new “dancing grounds”.Theatre, cinema, fine art, literature, music, and dance from diverse cultural geographies are an endless supply of creative inspiration for the young artist.
