Balanced exposition of Kuchipudi: Kalpalathika as
Usha dared the 'paatra pravesa daru' and her totally trained artistry
pervaded the auditorium like incense.-----The Hindu(Dec'98)
Lovely show of Kuchipudi: With her bright and sensuous
stage presence, this pretty danseuse was very proficient in her
dancing and full of a bounce that went well with the general tenor
of the Kuchipudi dance style.--NMN
Kalpalathika gave a sparkling Kuchipudi recital which
was marked with fluidity and grace....there was never a false step...she
has a bright future.----Subbudu
Pleasant and dignified: Kalpalathika's dance is an
amalgamation of all that is best in music, dance, literature, sculpture,
spiritual experience and aesthetic excitement------Dr. Pappu Venugopala
Rao
The thrilling finale of the festival was Kalpalathika,
with her lithe figure and supple limbs as she spun like a top on
the stage weaving fascinating patterns of footwork and hand gestures.---T.S.Parthasarathy
Powerful dramatic elements: Young Kalpalathika as
Rukmini was naturally the cynosure of all eyes. Her depiction of
seperation from Krishna ans abhorrence of Sishupala showed that
she was an accomplished actress as well.--T.S.Parthasarathy
Kalpalathika proved to be a dedicated disciple of
Vempati and her essays in expressing satvika abhinaya may help her
to blossom fully. Sometimes a single swallow can announce a summer.--Arudra(The
Sruti).
Kalpalathika did an unforgettable 'Govardhana giridhara'
stealing an edge over the other dancers.Her marathon dance on Krishna
leelas...her petite form going from strength to strength. That she
is an accomplished actress was seen in the Vastraharan sequence
where her pathos at her plight was recognised by the audience...The
Hindustan Times.
Spell binding performance: Kalpalathika is blessed
with all the requirements for a good dancer such as expressive eyes,
slim frame, good abhinaya, footwork, dedication and concentration.
As Sathyabhama she gave an outstanding performance. Her anger, her
adamant stand of not yielding to Krishna's cajoling, her fierce
reactions to his approaches were just wonderful...J.B(The Hindu)
Bright and talented: Kalpalathika gave a skilfull
performance....tender, graceful, and charming dancer that Kalpalathika
is, she exhibited a presentation that was an outcome of hardwork
and depth of understanding of the art form. Her inner strength and
confidence on the intricacies of the art blossomed into a fine piece
of work...Nandini Ramani(The Hindu)
