- Getting Colombo moving for Disabled People
( Updated 2010-09-15 15:11:19 )
How many steps did you climb up or down this morning to get to work? It is probably something you never even think about. I took 30 steps down from my apartment to the ground floor. Then several steps up and down curbs to get to the bus stop, 3 steps to get onto the bus (and then off again), a few more pavements to negotiate and 2 steps up into the office. Grand total? 48.

- Remembering Chitrasena-
( Updated 2010-07-17 10:45:57 )
This article by Senator Reggie Perera reproduced from the book NRTYA PUJA – ‘A tribute to Chitrasena 50 years in the dance’ traces the Maestro’s contribution to dance in Sri The dance is as old as human history, but the ballet, in its modern sense as a medium of expression built on four
limbs – dance, music, décor and drama – is of comparative recent origin. In India the raw material existed in the ancient traditional dances with their complex techniques and the accepted medium of the gesture language Mudras, highly developed Indian music met the requirements of the modern Indian ballet with great difficulty.
