<p>Everybody can dance. Rooting for this thought and turning it into a reality, eminent choreographer Ashley Lobo is helping hundreds in achieving their dream of dancing. A major game changer in the world of dance, Ashley can be single-handedly attributed to creating awareness for it in its truest form in India while also opening the doors of abstract contemporary, a dance style that is relatively new to the country.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
He recently took a team of dancers to Istanbul, Turkey after being commissioned by Yair Vardi, director of the renowned Suzanne Dellal Centre in Tel Aviv in Israel. They performed a piece called ‘Agni,’ an abstract contemporary dance that is “like modern art”. “While most dances in India are more on the classical side and story-driven, abstract is about dance” as he explained the passion that drove the piece -- given that fire is both a symbol of “fear and passion.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
An adventure-seeker who would have become a fighter pilot if not for a choreographer, Ashley has been teaching dance for over 30 years now.&nbsp;In a candid chat with WION, Ashley spoke about the growing trend of recreating popular songs, dance direction in a biopic film, the difference between theatre and films, how Bollywood will never get over song-dance sequences and much more.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>What is dance for you?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
I come from a place that dance for me is minimalistic in terms of movement, and more about taking the audience on a journey. It’s not so much about the shape of the movement. I’m not here to wow them with shapes. There are enough dances that will wow them with shapes. For me, dance is about communication, connecting with them and taking them on a journey that is deep and relatable to them.</p>

<p><img alt="New (12)_1.jpg" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="430" src="http://images.wionews.com/iniline-images/New%20(12)_1.jpg" width="770" /><br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>How has dance in India changed in comparison to when you started?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
In India, the contemporary style is still evolving. I still feel we are 10-15 years behind the West. In the West, every dancer learns jazz, ballet. The two dance forms that get the highest kind of traction are ballet and abstract contemporary -- neither of the styles is popular in India right now. There’s no formal training of ballet or jazz at a widespread level in India. We are still at the stage of pedestrian dancing. Street dance and pedestrian contemporary are popular.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Once you go abstract and contemporary, you need to understand structure to de-structure it from a point of information. I think that the whole Indian dance industry has not yet come to the point of structure but they are already working from a point of de-structure.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>What form is popular in India currently?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Most of the untrained styles are very popular in India. The reason behind this is lack of dance education that has not yet taken on formal levels, at the level, it is globally. I think once that happens, it’s only a matter of time.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Dance also has a syllabus where you’re actually teaching how to dance and not just the steps. When we dance without it, it’s like we don’t understand the structure of the body and only know the steps. We need a holistic learning of dance. When you’re learning dance, you learn the whole format, physiology, how to create, first position, second position, a pirouette; it’s about learning the language.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>How different is a performance on stage from that in a Bollywood film?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
They are quite different. The first time I did films and now 30 films later, a lot has changed. The first time I directed a film, I’d say it was a little intimidating. The film is a moving frame; the stage is a fixed frame. With film, your camera is moving; with stage,&nbsp;you don’t need to&nbsp;as your eye is the film. For you, the audience is static; with films, your camera has a posture -- going in, coming out, and doing various things. It’s a little different and a bit challenging from that perspective. Having said that, basic performance is where the truth of both cinema and theatre is. If you are a good theatre actor and you know how to adapt to the camera then that’s fantastic.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Preparation in both is basically the same. The only difference is, that in theatre, you have to prepare the whole song in one go. In film its 32 beats at a time. In film, you screenplay so you can write it down. Dancers can make a mistake, you can clean it up, and you can also shoot it at various angles and club them together to increase the pace. When you’re shooting for stage, it’s a straight 4 minutes, one shot.</p>

<p><strong>How different is teaching a well-trained dancer a sequence from a Bollywood actor who has no formal training?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
For me its communication, the rules are the same. In both, your job as a director is to make sure you tell the story in the best way possible, with whom you have, what you have. If I have dancers of certain ability, certain inclination; then I highlight those inclinations and abilities. The same goes on for an actor. The worst thing you can do is to showcase the weakness of a dancer or an actor -- because you’re not able to narrate the story and at the same time you’re letting down the actor because you’re not able to convince the audience that he is that character.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Is working for films as a choreographer tougher than stage?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
The film process is much faster; theatre is a little deeper for me because we also do different genres of dance. In the film genre, I’m narrating a story. In abstract contemporary dance, there is no narrative. You have to think&nbsp;of how to hold the audience for 45 minutes where there’s no story. It's like you’re on an emotional roller coaster as there’s no story. But if you are watching a film, there’s a story.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>As a choreographer, is it difficult to recreate an old, iconic song and make it click with the audience of this generation?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
I have only done one song like that. It's <em>Har K</em><em>isiko</em><em>&nbsp;N</em><em>ahi</em><em>&nbsp;M</em><em>ilta</em><em>&nbsp;Y</em><em>ahan</em><em>&nbsp;P</em><em>yar Zindagi Mein..</em><em>.</em>I would just stick to what the musician is telling me. If I stick to the truth of connecting to what the music is telling me, then the audience will connect to it. There are some songs that can be remade and can be made better and more modern than the original one. I don’t think one needs to think of how the audience is going to feel about this; you need to think about the truth of that moment.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>What about directing a song in a biopic like that in ‘Sanju’?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
My job as a choreographer is to convince you that Ranbir is fit in that character.&nbsp;If I am trying to make 'Sanju'&nbsp;more than what Sanju is, then that’s a problem or if I am attached to my own baggage of what I want to create, to show the audience how great I am. If my honesty helps me in making the audience believe that this is Sanju then my job is done.<br />

<strong>Will Bollywood song-and-dance sequence survive for long?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
We have music all over the country. I don’t think we will ever get over this. Songs in India are not so much about dance, but more about how to take the story forward. Today songs, music and choreography are used in a more realistic way.</p>

<p>It’s impossible for Bollywood to get over songs. Even today, sometimes a film works because of its promo songs. &nbsp;We sell on music even if it’s a story-based film. We are emotional and we connect to music. Pick any festival and music is a part of our celebrations. We put on music and we burn crackers.</p>

<p><strong>How do you work with actors who can’t dance or are known to be not so good at dancing?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
The only thing that stops us from dancing is the belief that we can’t dance. We dance at different levels. My job is to tell the story. My job is not to show how great a choreographer I am. Whoever the dancer is, my job is to tell the story and to showcase them in their character. Whether I do it just by moving his hand or his thumb, as long as I am delivering a message, my job is done.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
As an audience, a rickshaw driver is not going to understand complications. He is going to understand simplicity so I have to think like that. If I don’t then I am an obnoxious artist.<br />

<strong>Who is your favourite dancer among the recent crop of actors?</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
It’s very difficult to say, I’ve worked with almost all of them and have had fun working with each of them. Govinda is an amazing dancer; he says so much with his body. At the end of the day, it’s not about the dance but the individual flavour. (He spoke about how Salman Khan could dance and make it work just with the twinkle of his eye, that there is so much dance within that movement.)<br />

Ashley was recently in Delhi to introduce his students to abstract contemporary, important for those who wish to perform overseas.</p>


In a candid chat with WION, ace choreographer Ashley Lobo opened up about the growing trend of recreating old songs, directing songs in a biopic, how Bollywood will never get over song-dance sequences and more.

Everybody can dance. Rooting for this thought and turning it into a reality, eminent choreographer Ashley Lobo is helping hundreds in achieving their dream of dancing. A major game changer in the world of dance, Ashley can be single-handedly attributed to creating awareness for it in its truest form in India while also opening the doors of abstract contemporary, a dance style that is relatively new to the country. He recently took a team of dancers to Istanbul, Turkey after being commissioned by Yair Vardi, director of the renowned Suzanne Dellal Centre in Tel Aviv in Israel. They performed a piece called ‘Agni,’ an abstract contemporary dance that is “like modern art”. “While most dances in India are more on the classical side and story-driven, abstract is about dance” as he explained the passion that drove the piece -- given that fire is both a symbol of “fear and passion.” An adventure-seeker who would have become a fighter pilot if not for a choreographer, Ashley has been teaching dance for over 30 years now. In a candid chat with WION, Ashley spoke about the growing trend of recreating popular songs, dance direction in a biopic film, the difference between theatre and films, how Bollywood will never get over song-dance sequences and much more. What is dance for you? I come from a place that dance for me is minimalistic in terms of movement, and more about taking the audience on a journey. It’s not so much about the shape of the movement. I’m not here to wow them with shapes. There are enough dances that will wow them with shapes. For me, dance is about communication, connecting with them and taking them on a journey that is deep and relatable to them. How has dance in India changed in comparison to when you started? In India, the contemporary style is still evolving. I still feel we are 10-15 years behind the West. In the West, every dancer learns jazz, ballet. The two dance forms that get the highest kind of traction are ballet and abstract contemporary -- neither of the styles is popular in India right now. There’s no formal training of ballet or jazz at a widespread level in India. We are still at the stage of pedestrian dancing. Street dance and pedestrian contemporary are popular. Once you go abstract and contemporary, you need to understand structure to de-structure it from a point of information. I think that the whole Indian dance industry has not yet come to the point of structure but they are already working from a point of de-structure. What form is popular in India currently? Most of the untrained styles are very popular in India. The reason behind this is lack of dance education that has not yet taken on formal levels, at the level, it is globally. I think once that happens, it’s only a matter of time. Dance also has a syllabus where you’re actually teaching how to dance and not just the steps. When we dance without it, it’s like we don’t understand the structure of the body and only know the steps. We need a holistic learning of dance. When you’re learning dance, you learn the whole format, physiology, how to create, first position, second position, a pirouette; it’s about learning the language. How different is a performance on stage from that in a Bollywood film? They are quite different. The first time I did films and now 30 films later, a lot has changed. The first time I directed a film, I’d say it was a little intimidating. The film is a moving frame; the stage is a fixed frame. With film, your camera is moving; with stage, you don’t need to as your eye is the film. For you, the audience is static; with films, your camera has a posture -- going in, coming out, and doing various things. It’s a little different and a bit challenging from that perspective. Having said that, basic performance is where the truth of both cinema and theatre is. If you are a good theatre actor and you know how to adapt to the camera then that’s fantastic. Preparation in both is basically the same. The only difference is, that in theatre, you have to prepare the whole song in one go. In film its 32 beats at a time. In film, you screenplay so you can write it down. Dancers can make a mistake, you can clean it up, and you can also shoot it at various angles and club them together to increase the pace. When you’re shooting for stage, it’s a straight 4 minutes, one shot. How different is teaching a well-trained dancer a sequence from a Bollywood actor who has no formal training? For me its communication, the rules are the same. In both, your job as a director is to make sure you tell the story in the best way possible, with whom you have, what you have. If I have dancers of certain ability, certain inclination; then I highlight those inclinations and abilities. The same goes on for an actor. The worst thing you can do is to showcase the weakness of a dancer or an actor -- because you’re not able to narrate the story and at the same time you’re letting down the actor because you’re not able to convince the audience that he is that character. Is working for films as a choreographer tougher than stage? The film process is much faster; theatre is a little deeper for me because we also do different genres of dance. In the film genre, I’m narrating a story. In abstract contemporary dance, there is no narrative. You have to think of how to hold the audience for 45 minutes where there’s no story. It's like you’re on an emotional roller coaster as there’s no story. But if you are watching a film, there’s a story. As a choreographer, is it difficult to recreate an old, iconic song and make it click with the audience of this generation? I have only done one song like that. It's Har Kisiko Nahi Milta Yahan Pyar Zindagi Mein...I would just stick to what the musician is telling me. If I stick to the truth of connecting to what the music is telling me, then the audience will connect to it. There are some songs that can be remade and can be made better and more modern than the original one. I don’t think one needs to think of how the audience is going to feel about this; you need to think about the truth of that moment. What about directing a song in a biopic like that in ‘Sanju’? My job as a choreographer is to convince you that Ranbir is fit in that character. If I am trying to make 'Sanju' more than what Sanju is, then that’s a problem or if I am attached to my own baggage of what I want to create, to show the audience how great I am.

Bollywood celebs head out for a summer vacation

<p>Parents will always look out for you. Whether you are 8 or 80, for them you are never quite adequate to do things on your own. A theme that is prevalent in Umesh Shukla's '102 Not Out.'&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on Saumya Joshi's Gujarati play by the same name,&nbsp;102-year-old Dattareya Vakhariya lives in the moment and wants to outlive the oldest man in the world who died at 112. 'Only 16 years to go,'he declares to his 75-year-old son Babulal whose personality is a stark contrast from his father. Babulal is calculated man, who lives in the past, mopes too much and generally disapproves his father's way of living life. Which is why Dattareya decides to send his son to an old age home. When Babu resists, Datta agrees to let him stay provided he agrees to certain conditions and performs a few tasks as directed by Dattabhai.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-QrO1_QTd4Y" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Now, the trailer of the film promised a light-hearted comedy about an uncanny father-son duo. '102 Not Out' is that mostly but dwindles into a mildly melodramatic second half where a Baghban-<em>ish</em> plot comes into fore. That takes away the breezy, light moments which are in plenty in the first half and make you genuinely laugh.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="102 not out.jpg" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="430" src="http://images.wionews.com/iniline-images/102%20not%20out.jpg" width="770" /></p>

<p>To its credit, the film has two stupendous actors- Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor- playing the lead characters who take the film forward despite a lacklustre second half. Bachchan and Kapoor are stalwarts in their own right, having won accolades in the past for their films. The two are in top form as they perform to different characters with much ease. Its a delight to watch Big B and Kapoor on screen together after ages and they complement each other performances well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It's because of these two actors that '102 Not Out' is enjoyable despite the flaws. One can ignore the annoying accent that Big B and Kapoor adapt in parts to appear Gujarati, one can even ignore the familiar story of a forgotten son and a neglected parent for these two actors. One can overlook the one-sided story of two old men wanting more in life as death knocks at their door - simply because Kapoor and Bachchan together deliver endearing performances.&nbsp;</p>

If you&#39;ve got a secret desire to get a selfie clicked with one -- or some -- of your favourite celebrities and public figures, Madame Tussauds takes you a step closer. People in the capital city were much enthused to learn about the opening of the 23rd and the latest addition to the series of <a href="http://www.wionews.com/photos/madhubala-as-anarkali-to-join-delhi-madame-tussauds-379" target="_blank">Madame Tussauds</a> attractions in the historic Regal building which was thrown open on Friday.</p>

Another section features a 20-minute film where Prime Minister Narendra Modi speaks about his experience of getting his wax figure made at Madame Tussauds.</p>

<p>Sports enthusiasts get to visit a dedicated sports corner which includes wax figures of Mary Kom, David Beckham, Milkha Singh, Usain Bolt, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar among others.</p>

Madame Tussauds opens at New Delhi's historic Regal building

<p>Much has been written about violence that erupted over a &quot;Unite the Right&quot; march in Charlottesville when white nationalists and counter-protesters met oddly with each other. The march saw taunting and shoving from both parties that led to a huge brawl.</p>

<p>According to some initial reports, a car ploughed&nbsp;into another vehicle near a group of counter-protesters. The brawl became quite ugly with a 32-year-old&nbsp;girl named Heather D. Heyer losing her life. There were nineteen others injured while at least 34 people were wounded in the clashes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Standing tall against any such violent acts of spreading hatred and fear, celebrities&nbsp;took to social media to share their support for Charlottesville:&nbsp;</p>

White supremacists marched across the campus of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia, leaving at least three dead and many injured

Much has been written about violence that erupted over a "Unite the Right" march in Charlottesville when white nationalists and counter-protesters met oddly with each other. The march saw taunting and shoving from both parties that led to a huge brawl. According to some initial reports, a car ploughed into another vehicle near a group of counter-protesters. The brawl became quite ugly with a 32-year-old girl named Heather D. Heyer losing her life. There were nineteen others injured while at least 34 people were wounded in the clashes. Standing tall against any such violent acts of spreading hatred and fear, celebrities took to social media to share their support for Charlottesville: How tragic that this is what we've come to. My prayers are w those in Charlottesville & every American who is the target of hate & violence. — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) August 12, 2017 × My heart is in Charlottesville today, and with everyone made to feel unsafe in their country. — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) August 12, 2017 × I would like to speak out against these ignorant ass fools marching in Charlottesville. Believe it or not, they do not represent the majority of "white people". Most of "us" white folk (I'll say it again, I subscribe to the human race and we're all pink on the inside) are embarrassed of these small dicked privileged spoiled ass losers. Like these good people in this picture. Most people are good people, there are small groups of every sort that make it ugly for the rest of us. I apologize on behalf of these idiots. Maybe mommy and daddy should cut off their allowances. A post shared by P!NK (@pink) on Aug 12, 2017 at 8:44am PDT × With everything that's going on, it's so easy to look the other way and say "I don't want to watch the news, it's too negative" or dismiss what's going on in our country because it's too scary to actually be true. But it is. Violence and hate is overwhelming our country today and it's time that this generation changes that. Black, Muslim, gay, bisexual, trans, etc. you are perfect the way you are and you ARE LOVED. Do not listen to evil no matter how loud it gets. I am with you during this time and things will change. #stopthehate #prayforpeace #prayforcharlottesville ??? A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on Aug 13, 2017 at 11:51am PDT × I pray a true leader will rise to expel hatred from America. This is not US! This is Anti-American #ThisIsNotUS #Charlottesville #BeKind — xoxo, Gaga (@ladygaga) August 12, 2017 × Thank you for this @cleowade #loveistheway A post shared by Reese Witherspoon (@reesewitherspoon) on Aug 13, 2017 at 5:28am PDT × If you're not outraged , you're not paying attention..... sending love to all and healing to those injured !
