ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

Body Matters - Move to Transform Arts in Education Festival ‘Body Matters - Move to Transform’ is the first festival of its kind in India to celebrate the important roles dance and movement arts are increasingly playing in the fast-developing holistic education initiatives in India. The festival will explore the need and possibility of cultural skills development programmes in the country to build self-sustaining structures for dance in our society, which is integral to the overall development of the performing arts scene. The festival will bring in expertise, experience and perspectives from dance and allied disciplines such as theatre, sports, music, film, visual arts and education for the benefit of students, teachers, artists and a wider public. Body Matters will shed light on creativity, innovation and knowledge production as the driving forces of individual and collective transformation of society through comprehensive and holistic education where arts play an important role. Through the festival we will aim to explore diverse cultures, corporeal skills and embodiments to provide insight into their role in shaping identities as well as providing sustenance for self-realisation. We thank all our partners for their support and invite artists, art lovers and the general public to participate in the festival and join our journey in this exciting phase of Attakkalari and movement arts.
