Menaka PP Bora, the award winning danseuse and an exponent of Xattriya dance is reportedlyt planning to launch a video-editing application targeting the dance connoisseurs of the city alongside a performance at Guwahati in July. This app will be called Velapp.

Menaka said to the press during her briefing on the newly prepared application that the audience there would be encouraged to shoot as well as edit more videos of her performance using the new app that has gathered immense popularity in the previous year alone since its introduction, owing to the ease of use delivered by it.

The daughter of the famour danseuse Indira PP Bora, Menaka is a soloist classical dancer, actor, choreographer, musicologist and broadcaster. It is understood that her team is presently in talks with the Reliance Group of Companies for introducing the app in India.

The launch of the Performance Art-Tech Project took place at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom in collaboration with David de Min, a technology entepreneur from Britain and Sebastiano Ludovico, a painter as well as tech-investor, in February this year. The development of the app envisaged the combination of a fresh technology and performing art for effectuating new experiences for the viewers of Indian visual arts collections.

Menaka added that the library also boasted of rare manuscripts on mudras or gestures by hand that came originally from Assam. Reports have that she would be interpreting the manuscript through music and dance as her team is all set to tour with this project to London and Los Angeles, and to India as well.

Menaka is known to be constantly driven by innovation and re-invention. She has always viewed that the artistes would stagnate in the absence of a renewal of their artistic impulses and knowledge. As an artiste, she has always maintained her acuity in challenging herself out of her comfort zone to keep learning and experimenting.
