I really see today as one of the most important day of the past week. I usually attend lectures five days a week and do my external study on Saturday and Sunday. But this evening is very special. Because I attended important lecture. This was done by the students of the Faculty of Arts, University of the Colombo. These days they are holding their art festival using zoom technology. They had named this Art festival as "Akaniya". They called today lecture a " viduhuru pelapaliya". The lecture was originally named by the senior lecturer Saddha Uthpala. The lecture was also given by Mr. Saddha Uthpala, a senior lecturer on the university of the visual and performing art and it was because of him that our students had the opportunity to attend to this.
He spoke about the Bali, Thovil, Shanthi karma in Sri Lanka and it's birth stories. Also talked about its scientific background. He also spoke on a number of timely topics and mentioned places where the dance should be held. He explains how timely it is to use dance forms in the Local dance tradition for weddings.
In fact I was able to learn a lot in the tradition dance by this. I also able to listen to poems that I had never heard before. I'm really Happy to hear a lecture like this at a time like this because a lot of things have been taught to us by the traditional dance.
