Nartaka Festival 2016, Chennai

Post by sathirdance »

Natyanjali Trust, Chennai celebrates 10 years of the 'Nartaka Festival' - a dance festival exclusively for male dancers. Since its inception in 2007, the Nartaka festival has presented classical, modern and contemporary dancers from all over India and abroad.

Each year a renowned dance artist is awarded the 'Nartaka Award’ for excellence in dance. Over the last decade the festival has slowly but surely grown into a critically acclaimed dance festival, with dancers from all over the world applying to participate. The recipient of the Nartaka award 2016 is Sri. Sathyanarayana Raju

The three day festival will showcase 9 dancers, who will each present a solo performance. This year the focus will be on the varnams of the glorious TANJAVUR QUARTET and their descendants. The dancers will explore a varnam of the Quartet rarely seen on proscenium stages of Chennai and elsewhere. See the link for more details.
