NRITYAM- THE DANCE FESTIVAL
NRITYAM- performing arts festival was launched as an annual cultural event in 2004. It is curated by distinguised dancer-scholar and choreographer Dr. Prakriti Bhaskar and is hosted by A I M ( Art Initiative Movement ) an organization spear-headed by her with the mission to demystify the classical arts for the modern generation . NRITYAM is a humble effort to engage the artistes & audience in an interesting dialogue through exposure, appreciation and awreness of our rich cultural heritage. It is also an effort to create a larger audience base for the classical arts in an ever modern & technology driven environment where human connect is on the decline. In essence the vision is to integrate our cultural soul into the socio-economic structure of an emerging nation so as to balance growth and technology while remaining rooted in our traditions and value sysytems.
As one of the most awaited events hosted by AIM over the years, NRITYAM has been instrumental in creating a very niche and sensitive audience for the classical arts. It is one of Mumbai’s most aesthetically and artistically curated theme-based festival envisioned as a platform to showcase acclaimed artiste, best talents and diverse artforms from across the country. At NRITYAM every year , we also felicitate, acknowledge & support a senior guru or artiste & masters for their contribution to our rich artistic legacy with the ARPANAM award.
Nrityam also offers dance students an invaluable experience of a 'live performance' in front of an esteemed audience. It is also a rare opportunity to witness diverse dance forms and artistes from across the globe. For our guests it is an opportunity to get an insight into the work and vision of the institute. Also hosting NRITYAM at one of Mumbai’s best state-of-art auditorium – Balgandharva Rangmandir, Bandra (west) helps us bring to our audience an even more enriching and memorable experience!!!
In all it's an event that cannot be missed!!
