Dhrupad concert and workshop calendar of
Dhrupad the Call of the Deep is a documentary film on Dhrupad - the ancient classical court and temple music genre of North India, featuring as its main protagonists Dagar family patriarch Ustad Rahim Fahimuddin Dagar and Dhrupad singer Ashish Sankrityayan. The film documents the process of oral transmission of traditional knowledge and focuses on the complex linkages between Dhrupad and Indian spiritual and philosophical thought, literature, art and history and also on the relevance of Dhrupad in the context of the vast globalizing influences sweeping through India now. The film documents in the first person, the interaction and the complex relation between a traditional Dhrupad maestro and his young student, with one of the two main protagonists - the student also wielding the camera, focusing mainly on his master and sometimes turning it on himself. The close physical distance between the two characters necessitates a cinematic language where the camera constantly moves around, following the movements of the protagonists and ranging over parts of the body or small objects or whatever is interesting, since only a small part of the whole picture can be accommodated in the frame at that close distance. Hand gestures or mudras are used as a voice and melodic technique in Dhrupad singing, and the film uses the complex gestures and hand movements of the singers as a metaphor for the art. There is nothing in the film that is preplanned or scripted. The things to talk about or sing were never decided beforehand. The interaction was shot as it occured over a period of about fives years. While the use of the camera by one of the protagonists would have undoubtedly influenced the interaction in subtle ways - the unobstrusive use of a very small palm sized camera and the fact that the protagonists get used to its constant presence after some time, ensured that this influence remained minimal. In its phrasing, camera movements, micro and macro structure, the film mimics a typical performence of Dhrupad -the music it tells about.The film has several threads running through it, and through these parallel and sometimes intertwined threads shows how the story of Dhrupad is the story of Indian civilization itself, with its centuries of the meeting, assimilation and mutual enrichment of cultures and religions. The Making of Dhrupad the Call of the Deep This little clip from my raw footage illustrates the way I accumulated material for making this film. I was faced with many limitations which I had to overcome and even managed use to my advantage. Although digital handycams and tapes had become reasonably cheap when I started this work in 1999, I did not have the luxury of keeping the camera on as much as I would have liked to. 2017 13th January Palezieux Espace Sesame Primavera A Gare Palezieux Switzerland Concert 14th January Paris 24th February Mumbai Integral Space Parel opp Palladium Mall 10th,11th March Palezieux (CH) Espace Sesame Primavera A Gare Palezieux Switzerland Concert 16th March Copenhagen Enghave Kirke Sønder Blvd. 120, 1720 København V 20th March London 8th, 9th April Mumbai 22nd.23rd April Kolkata 29th, 30th April Delhi 13th May Riga 2016 3rd February Berlin Humboldt University Lecture 4th, 5th February Hallein (Austria) WalpurgisArt ZEKI in Hallein-Rif 6th February Vienna (Austria) 11th March Palezieux Espace Sesame Primavera A Gare Palezieux Switzerland Concert 12th, 13th March PalezieuxEspace Sesame Primavera A Gare Palezieux Switzerland workshop 20th March Paris 8 Rue Bichat 21st to 25th March Hannover Friedenspalast Hannover workshop and concert 25th, 26th March Kempten (Germany) 2nd April Vienna (Austria) 16th April Jabalpur 6th May Ujjain 20th May Copenhagen 21st, 22nd May Salzburg, Hallein WalpurgisArt ZEKI in Hallein-Rif 17th June Copenhagen Enghave Kirke Sønder Blvd. 120, 1720 København V 18th June Copenhagen Dhrupad workshop and concert Spiritual Center Tinkuy Skyttegade 3, 2200 Nørrebro København 21st June Riga Concert on world yoga day, Botanical Garden Riga 1st July Memmingen 1st to 8th August Rasa (Switzerland) residential dhrupad workshop 19th November Copenhagen Dhrupad workshop Spiritual Center TinkuySkyttegade 3, 2200 Nørrebro København 24th November Søndersø Nordfyns Musikskole Nordmarksvej 2 5471 Søndersø 26th November Odense (Denmark) 20 hrs Solvognern Kronprinsensgade 7, 5000 Odense C, Denmark 3rd December Paris 19hrs 8 Rue Bichat 2015 11th April Copenhagen 12 - 18 hrs Dhrupad workshop Spiritual Center TinkuySkyttegade 3, 2200 Nørrebro København 11th April Copenhagen 19 hrs Dhrupad concert Spiritual Center Tinkuy Skyttegade 3, Nørrebro2200 København 29th May Fribourg Dhrupad Concert Espace Aurore Sorens Fribourg Switzerland 30thMay Geneva Dhrupad Concert Festival Poussière du Monde - Genève 31st May Geneva (Switzerland) Morning Dhruad with yoga meditation Festival Poussière du Monde 13th June Copenhagen 12 - 18 hrs Dhrupad workshop Spiritual Center TinkuySkyttegade 3, 2200 Nørrebro København 13th June Copenhagen 19 hrs Dhrupad concert Spiritual Center Tinkuy Skyttegade 3, Nørrebro2200 København 20th September Bubikon Zurich Festival Treffpunkt Der Kulturen Ritterhaus Bubikon 12th November Berlin Lecture on Dhrupad Humboldt University 7th November Copenhagen 14th November Kempten Allgäu (Germany) Dhrupad Concert 21st November Kempten Allgäu (Germany) Dhrupad Workshop 2014 21st January New Delhi Lalit Kala Academy National Seminar on Art Education 23rd February Khajuraho India Khajuraho Festival of Dances Choreography of Classical Dances with Dhrupad Compositions 9th May Luzern Switzerland Werkraum Rhythmik Wesemlinrain 16 , 20hrs Concert 10th May Luzern Switzerland 11 to 16.30 hrs Werkraum Rhythmik Wesemlinrain 16 Workshop 11th May Palezieux Switzerland 17 hrs Espace Sesame Primavera A Gare Palezieux Switzerland Concert 11th May Palezieux Switzerland Espace Sesame Primavera A Gare 11.30 to 15.30 Workshop 12th May Salzburg 20hrs Walpurgisart Forsthaus Hallein Austria Concert 13th and 14th May Salzburg Walpurgisart Forsthaus Hallein Austria Workshop 10 to 17 hrs 23rd May Amsterdam 19hrs Karunika Meerhuizenplein 38, Rivierenbuurt Amsterdam Concert 24th May Amsterdam 10.30 - 17.30 Workshop GOLDEN LINK , Den Texstraat 46, Amsterdam C 30th May Chalons Sur Loire (France) 20.30hrs Association Cle Halle Des Mariniers Dhrupad Concert Pakhawaj Pt.

Rahim Fahimuddin Dagar was a complex and moody person and a night bird - often staying up the night and going to bed in the wee hours of the morning. I would usually reach his house around 10 am and wait for him to wake up. He would often have his breakfast with me and slowly start the day filled with singing, teaching and rambling conversations. I would usually stay till about 8 or 9 pm and leave just before he had his late supper. I would keep the camera next to me or on my lap in the standby mode and quickly pick it up and switch it on when something interesting came up. As a result I often missed the beginnings - as you can see in this clip I used in the film, where I pick it up seconds after he started singing his famous Dhamar in Kedar - maana taja de ri aali. and explaining the technicalities of improvising with the angs of the raga and coming to the sam - the first beat. He also talks here about pakhawaj accompaniment. He sang this dhamar in his Kedar CD and there is also an EP record of his father Rahimuddin Khan Dagar singing it.
Sitting that close to him and unable to afford several lenses, I had to constantly choose between whether I could show his interesting hand movements or the book he was reading or his face. I usually chose to make hands more important and kept the camera moving so that the hands became a metaphor for the music itself. It would have been anyway impossible to change lenses when the reaction time was just a few seconds to start shooting or follow him around the house. It would have also been hugely distracting to both of us.
My mike was the cheap Sony ECM ms907 and it did a wonderful job in the 60 degree mode catching the dog barks and conversations in the next room and the bang of fire crackers going off outside that you hear in this clip and which form an integral part of the film. The camera, a small Sony Digital 8 handycam, was given to my by my student and friend Glynn Snellgrove, and the world of Dhrupad will be eternally grateful to him for being far sighted enough to buy it for me at the spur of the moment while visiting India. We could not afford a more expensive camera - not even a mini DV handycam which cost about 50 percent more at that time. After a few years I could have bought a slightly better 3CCD camera but chose to keep shooting with the old one, having already accumulated a huge amount of material in the by then obsolete Digital 8 format. When the camera finally broke down it was a huge effort finding nearly the same model. I found and bought one finally through the internet at the Rødby ferry in Denmark, and could then play the tapes again and continue work on the film.
With the bulky cameras that existed before handycams, this film would have been impossible to make anyway - the mere costs would have been prohibitive for me. Yet the quality with even the cheapest new digital cameras was almost as good as with the old U matics.
While shooting I had to constantly maintain eye contact with him and sometimes even sing a bit holding the camera though usually while learning I kept it on a little stool next to me. I always trode a fine line provoking him enough with little questions or comments to go on and say more without making him explode in anger and irritation - which also happened quit often since he was a temperamental man. Having learnt from several members of his family - one of the methods I used was to mention them - his cousing the other Dagars and their opinions about various aspects of Dhrupad. The family rialries were such that this would inevitably bring out a lot from him. He had a way of criticizing what he did not agree with in the singing of others by making a little demonstration and then saying ' I would not do it in this way'. As can be seen in this clip where he shows some aspects of alap in the moderate tempo after the composition in Kedar.
My shooting and documentation ended about 2006 when Fahimuddin Dagar would not allow any more recording, unless much larger sums of money were paid. By 2007 it was impossible to even visit him and talk to him, since in any meeting I would of course invariably get him to start talking and singing and explaining with some clever and provocative questioning and that could not be allowed wthout payment by the hour.
After 2007 I continued to work on the film in my spare time using the existing footage.
However having seen the way our system works and the financial difficulties musicians like him face under it I understand his compulsions about money . It is a sad thing that in our system of state sponsorship of the arts money has been spent on organizing huge shows and spectacles highlighting the so called ''Stars' of the system - paying them huge inflated bloated up fees, while the work of documenting the knowledge of people like Rahim Fahimuddin Dagar and many others who were less well known than him and the grass roots work of introducing the performing arts in schools was completely neglected. It all comes down to the fact that the dispensation of state patronage after Independence has been barring a few exceptions, in the hands of people who had no sensivity or passion for the arts. The disastrous results of an arbitrary system in operation for more than 60 years is now before all of us to see and reflect on.
