The choreographers featured this year will talk about their works and interact with the audience to enable an insight into their presentations. Moderator: Maya Krishna Rao Coordinator: Supriya Nayak October 9 Discussion on the presentations by Rani Karnaa Nayak (Kathak) Saroja Vaidyanathan (Bharatanatyam) Shijith Nambiar, Parvathy Menon (Bharatanatyam) October 10 Discussion on the presentations by Bichitrananda Swain (Odissi) Vijayalakshmi (Mohiniattam) Open discussion ANANYA OUTREACH PROGRAMME FOR STUDENTS  In its eleventh year, Ananya is undertaking a new initiative to reach
out to an important section of the city's population--school students.
This year, we invite students from different schools in Delhi to
participate in an interactive session with artists from the Ananya Dance
Festival at the festival venue. Moving away from the familiar format of
performances or lecture demonstrations, students will get to see the
other side of the performance through interacting with artists about the
creative process, getting a backstage tour of the festival venue and
trying out a few dance moves of their own! The workshop also aims to
extend Ananya's endeavor of introducing people to the possibilities of
making a connection with traditional arts and architecture in their own
lives and the potential of continuing to experiment with these in the
contemporary era.The objective of this workshop is twofold: 1. To foster a vision of taking Indian culture to the students. Through this informal interaction we would encourage these students to interact with these dancers. 2. To also present Creative Industry –music, dance, theater, art and related professions to be encouraged amongst the younger generation as viable alternative career options. Mostly people think only Doctors, Chartered Accountants, Lawyers and Business are preferred options for children as they grow up. Becoming a musician, Sound Expert/ Engineers, Event Management professionals are viable options. This mindset could change if the students meet the right people in the Industry.
