Premise of Roots

Indian classical dance in the now is a constant work-in-progress; in an eternal state of evolution, dynamic and travelling into unchartered territories and unknown heights. Honestly, this would never have been possible without the foundation it is laid and built upon - a deep-rooted history, grammar and ethos that allow for freedom and innovation within the framework.

In this edition of Natya Kala Conference, titled Roots, from the vantage position where Indian classical dance is poised today, we dig deep and attempt to unearth, trace, and showcase the idea of where things come from. Roots will celebrate the beauty of genesis, the mystery of heritage and the lure of legacy that has stood the test of time. The 40th edition of the Natya Kala Conference by the Krishna Gana Sabha is curated for the second year, by the Bharatanatyam exponent, Rama Vaidyanathan.

This year's conference is supported by Rajika Puri in honour of her mentor, Indrani Rahman.

Natya Kala Conference: Genesis and Journey

The Natya Kala Conference, NKC for short, is a dance conference that was conceived by the Krishna Gana Sabha way back in 1981 with an intent to allow dancers of a certain class and caliber (those who were conferred the title of Nrithya Choodamani), to share their knowledge, insights and understanding of dance and its world at large with a group of like-minded people under the umbrella of a five-day conference.

NKC unfolds across five days (December 26 to December 30) every year and has attained a landmark status of sorts, bringing into its fold, dancers and dance enthusiasts, scholars, rasikas, writers, commentators, and scholars to converge and deliberate upon dance and the many aspects that pertain to it and are of crucial concern to it.

Over five days, a convenor who is chosen, uses her intelligence and imagination to identify and present a host of artistes and scholars who share their know-how of a particular idea or thought, allowing the possibility of deliberate discussion and debate.
