39th Natya Kala Conference

Our very own Sridhar Shanmugam is a panelist at this year's Natya Kala Conference. The 39th edition of the Natya Kala Conference (NKC) presented by Krishna Gana Sabha, and titled, Nirikshana (Bharatanatyam: Under the Magnifying Glass), is being convened by the well acclaimed Bharatanatyam dancer, choreographer and teacher, Rama Vaidyanathan. Nirikshana seeks to examine, probe and assess Bharatanatyam as it is today. ?What transitions has it gone through over the years, and what can we do better in the already existing magnificent process of continuity? How can we collectively reach higher levels of excellence by celebrating tradition and embracing progression? Through dialogues, discussions and presentations, the conference aims to address some pressing issues in the world of Bharatanatyam today. Through lec-dems, the conference proposes to place several creative endeavours under the magnifying glass to get a closer in-depth perspective. Through full-length performances, the conference attempts to showcase the best in tradition and its continuation, so the Nirikshana of Bharatanatyam comes full circle.
