Sapthashree: Nuanced Numeric

Our guests tell about keeping traditional dances relevant to the audience when the latter may not be aware or even care about ‘the old’. But changing and evolving traditions poses a different set of questions about change and continuity. Using their past and present dances as examples, Ajith Dass and Ramli Ibrahim discuss the nature of choreographing dances with roots in old cultures and religions.
