Indian Classical dance presented by
Shebana Devi Mangold

Shebana Devi Mangold began her training in the Pandanallur style of Bharatanatyam under Guru Rajyashree Ramesh (Rajyashree Ramesh Academy for Performing Arts & Dance Theatre Productions, Berlin, Germany).
From 2004 to 2007, Shebana Devi received intensive training in the Kalakshetra style of Bharatanatyam from Guru Savithri Jagannatha Rao in Chennai and completed her Diploma at Institute Bharata Kalanjali (Chennai).
Shebana Devi also studied Carnatic music and Nattuvangam under the eminent Guru Bhagavatulu Seetarama Sarma (Kalapeetham, Chennai).
Although Shebana Devi fell in love with Kuchipudi as a small child, it was in 2009 when she started her training under the gifted and much sought after Kuchipudi dancer, choreographer and teacher Sri Jaikishore Mosalikanti, and his wife, Padmavani Mosalikanti.
After three years of exploring the beauty, intricacy and depth of Kuchipudi, Shebana Devi performed her Rangapravesam (solo stage debut) under Guru Jaikishore Mosalikanti in April 2012 with magnificent success in Chennai, India. Since summer 2012, Shebana Devi has been living in Berlin again, teaching and giving workshops/lecture demonstrations and performances of Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi.

Shebana Devi Mangold begann mit dem Bharatanatyam-Training im Pandanallur-Stil unter der Lehrmeisterin Rajyashree Ramesh (Rajyashree Ramesh Academy for Performing Arts & Dance Theatre Productions, Berlin). In den Jahren 2004 bis 2007 erhielt Shebana Devi intensives Training von Savithri Jagannatha Rao in Chennai und erhielt 2011 ihre Diplom des Institut Bharata Kalanjali in Chennai.
Daneben studierte Shebana Devi Karnatische Musik und Nattuvangam (Rhythmuskunst des Naatya) unter Meister Bhagavatulu Seetharama Sarma (Kalapeetham, Chennai, Indien).
Obwohl sich Shebana Devi bereits als kleines Kind in den klassischen Tanzstil des Kuchipudi verliebte, begann sie erst 2009 mit einerAusbildung zur Kuchipudi-Bühnentänzerin und -Lehrerin unter Jaikishore Mosalikanti und seiner Frau Padmavani Mosalikanti. Nach drei Jahren intensivem Training, bei dem sie in die Schönheit, Tiefe und Komplexität des Kuchipudi eintauchen durfte, trat Shebana Devi im April 2012 unter der Leitung von Lehrmeister Jaikishore Mosalikanti ihr Rangapravesam (Solo-Bühnendebüt) in Chennai, Indien, auf.
Seit Sommer 2012 lebt Shebana Devi wieder in Berlin, unterrichtet und gibt Workshops/Seminare und Aufführungen im Bharatanatyam und Kuchipudi.
