Attakkalari Diploma Graduation Show

20 AUGUST

KT MUHAMMED REGIONAL THEATRE, THRISSUR

Bengaluru’s Attakkalari Centre for Movement and Arts, founded in 2006, celebrated its tenth anniversary in August by conducting a “graduation show,” with dance pieces by many acclaimed choreographers from India, Italy, the United Kingdom and Hungary. The evening commenced with Minal Prabhu’s piece, which was full of traditional Bharatnatyam grace. Stefano Fardelli’s “Links,” inspired by electric cables intersecting across the Indian skyline, was performed next. It featured contemporary dance performances amid what looked like electric cables on the stage. The show was followed by a workshop on contemporary dance by Jayachandran Palazhy, the artistic director of Attakkalari.
