Event Description : Looking Back to Move Forward is the official 2018 message of the International Dance Council, CID, UNESCO, Paris. Manasa-Art Without Frontiers was founded by Sharon Lowen, Kamalini Dutt and Naresh Kapuria to facilitate the intersections between visual and performing arts, both traditional and contemporary. This festival looks back to the 6 Videshi Kalakar Utsavs and Art Without Frontiers Seminars held at the IIC in the 1990’s which brought together national and international arts scholars and writers, gurus and performers. Since its inauguration in 1995 by Bharat Ratna Pt. Ravi Shankar, Manasa-Art Without Frontiers has worked to acquaint a younger generation and the general public with the harmonious rich cultural heritage of India.
The scope of this festival features seminars to consider issues in the transmission of Indian performing arts, bringing up to date some of the evergreen insights, concerns and recommendations addressed earlier. Performances of new and traditional choreographies by excellent young and senior artists, Desh and Videsh culminate on Guru Purnima. The photographic exhibition, A Dancer Looks Back: Sharon Lowen’s 45 Years in India, is also a look back at Indian dance in the 1970’s in Delhi, Kolkata, Imphal, Seraikella, Baripada. It offers a historical glimpse of the cultural activity of the time. The dance workshop aimed at contemporary dancers as well as classical dancers on contemporary choreography based on Mohiniattam by Paris based dancer/choreographer Brigitte Chataignier. Her film, Dance of the Enchantress, produced with legendary film director Adoor Gopalakrishnan is a not-to-be-missed visual poetry. Thanks to the India International Centre and Alliance Francaise for their collaboration to make this festival possible.
