      Guwahati (Assam),Jan 21 : Kalpa, a Society for Promotion of Literature, Art, Culture and Social Harmony, announced the eleventh edition of Pragjyoti International Dance Festival (PIDF) at Guwahati Press Club today.

      Dr. Anwesa Mahanta said, “The celebration of 11 glorious years of our Festival has been curated with a wider cause of addressing the various concerns of Dance – its practice and pedagogy, challenges and perspectives, training and research and other issues of social relevance. With a firm conviction to cultural identity, sharing a rich legacy of arts, the festival reaches out to the youth with a message of social harmony and cultural convergence through arts.”

      The curtain raiser of PIDF will be held at Sri Sri Madhavadeva International Auditorium of Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra in Guwahati from 5:00 pm onwards on January 31. The curtain raiser will feature a performance of Pung Cholam by artistes of Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy, Imphal. Followed by this will a Bharatanatyam performance by noted dancer and an Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar awardee Lakshmi Parthasarathy Athreya after which the young and dynamic Sangita Chatterjee will present a Kathak recital.

      The Festival has always valued the educative component of arts and collaborated with various educational institutions for a wider youth outreach. This year, the Festival has joined hands with Department of English, Gauhati University and Assam Down Town University. Distinguished scholar, columnist, Dr. Arshiya Sethi would deliver an illustrated talk on “Tightly Plaited: Relationship between Literature, Dance and Indian Dramaturgy” on 31st January at 11 am in Department of English, Gauhati University.

      The evening sessions of the festival on Jan 31, in Sri Sri Madhavadeva International Auditorium at Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra premises would feature invocation by students of Kalpavriksha – the performance and training unit of Kalpa at 5:00 pm. A film screening of a rare Sattriya Dance Documentary followed by a discussion with eminent masters of Sattriya Traditions, Bayanacharya Ghanakanta Bora (Padmashri and Sangeet Natak Akademi Awardee) , Nrityacharya Jatin Goswami (Sangeet Natak Akademi Ratna and Padmashri) .

      This year, the Pragjyoti International Dance Festival has been hosted in association with Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra and Kri Foundation, with a support from Sangeet Natak Akademi, Oil India Limited, State Bank of India, Indian Oil, Gauhati University, Assam Down Town University, Life’s Purple and The News Mill.

      Noted art scholar and Founder of Kri Foundation Dr. Arshiya Sethi in collaborating with Kalpa says, I see a global and local valence for the Pragjyoti International Dance Festival that is celebrating its eleventh year. While there is a civic churning all around us, the very fact that we can come together, for art, is not just part of our civic duty, but testifies to the adhesive power of art. Kri Foundation, a haven in the forefront of activism through the arts, is privileged to be associated once again with Kalpa as part of the Pragjyoti International Dance Festival.

      PIDF is an annual classical dance extravaganza conceptualized to exhibit the wide range of Indian Dance traditions together on one platform and to celebrate the rich heritage of Assam.

      “With every passing edition, PIDF has taken up socially relevant concerns and initiatives to promote the softer power of art in celebrating diversity and confluence of minds by providing a global platform to varied art forms and its practitioners. While we have worked towards the cultural tourism of the region, the Festival this year also focusses on the importance of arts education. The festival experience would not only give the performers a platform to share their art form but also give a wider space to interact and see the rich artistic legacy of Assam concludes Dr. Anwesa Mahanta.
