Since this year, Lalitha Srinivasan, Director of Nupura, has changed the
time frame of her annual Nitya Nritya Festival and a seminar from month
of April to August. The Srinivasans conducted a five day festival from
1983 till 1999 for 16 long years. For various reasons they could not
continue this unique national festival of dance in Bangalore. But as Mr.
Srinivasan puts it, “Once again like the Phoenix bird rising from its
own ashes, the festival has come back to life for the past four years.”
It is true. In Bengaluru, in those years no other organization and even
the Government of Karnataka had not visualized a national festival of
dance on such a scale when in 1983, the first Nitya Nritya festival was
organized.Thursday, 30 August 2012
