TranscenDance

The language of dance is universal and has the power to cut across confines of language, culture and boundaries. Indian dance, in particular, has the capacity to transcend the form and the body, to be able to enter into another realm of consciousness. This quality of the dance to transform is experiential and helps us recognise that the process is more relevant than the performance itself.

In this year’s Natya Kala Conference we bring to you presentations by dancers who go beyond the notions of performance and the performative to travel a different path… those who have disrupted the conventional; who have distilled dance as therapy for the physically and emotionally challenged; those who have used dance for social activism, those who have travelled beyond the proscenium stage to create and nurture new spaces to engage with the arts…

The 41st edition of the Natya Kala Conference by the Krishna Gana Sabha is curated for the third year, by the Bharatanatyam exponent, Rama Vaidyanathan.

This year's conference is supported by Ganesa Natyalaya in honour of Saroja Vaidyanathan celebrating 50 years of Ganesa Natyalaya.

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.
