• Event Details : SEHER presents Ananya Dance Festival 08 : A five-day classical dance extravaganza.
• ANANYA: ‘The Unparalleled - A dialogue of Indian classical dance with heritage monument’ is an annual dance festival held at Purana Qila which celebrates the beauty of Indian classical dance forms and focuses on group choreography in particular.
• Sanjeev Bhargava, Festival Director, Ananya Dance Festival says: “Ananya—now in its seventh year is an attempt to popularize Indian classical arts amongst the youth. In this age of television boom, growing TRP’s of reality television—our heritage and culture needs to be preserved and marketed smartly amongst the youth or else there is a danger that most of it would be declared intangible heritage shortly. Ananya is one such attempt of ours to showcase Indian classical dance in its pure form but packaged sleekly for the younger generation and first time enthusiasts of Indian culture. This festival’s growing popularity amongst all sections of Delhi’s audience is true testimony that our classical arts have what it takes to weather all storms.”
• One of the highlights of Ananya’08 is that it would be Kalakshetra’s first performance after renowned danseuse Leela Samson took over as the famed institution’s director. Moreover, in keeping with Ananya’s tradition of identifying younger and lesser known talent, two of Delhi’s young dancers Malti Shyam and Jayaprabha Menon would be creating a special cite-specific choreography at Purana Qila. This year’s Ananya is also being keenly awaited because of hosting Jai Kishore’s (Kuchipudi) first group performance in Delhi. Also, this year SEHER has gone one step ahead in adding an academic perspective to performing arts with a two-day interactive seminar.

• Organised by : SEHER in association with Govt. of NCT of Delhi and Sahitya Kala Parishad.
