De Sidere 7

A film by Nicolás Grandi and Lata Mani

 

Introduced by Nicolás Grandi

 

Screening will be followed by a discussion

About the film

 De Sidere 7 is an experimental work that interweaves performance, dance, poetry, storytelling and text to reflect upon aspects of desire. Shot in Bangalore and Delhi, the film scripts the work of five performing artists into a sensorially rich meditation on desire’s vexed status as at once, animating force, object of suspicion and ground of contention. De Sidere 7 is conceived as a video contemplation: a formally plural, multilayered composition intended to be experienced as an integrated whole

 ​​​​Nicolás Grandi is a filmmaker, arts educator, musician and sculptor from Buenos Aires

Lata Mani is a Bangalore based feminist historian and cultural critic

Fundamentally Yours…The Adavus
Programme Type
Seminars
A presentation on Bharata Natya training with ergonomics in mind  
 
By Mamata Niyogi Nakra, Founder of Kala Bharati (Montreal) who trained under Guru U.S. Krishna Rao and Chandrabhaga Devi and Nicole LaMontagne, classical and contemporary dancer from Montreal 
 
A project that began at Cirque du Soleil, Montreal, as research on the methodology for training Indian Classical dancers, has grown into a deeper study of the fundamental units of Bharata Natya known as the adavus, with an analytical perspective based on the physics of dance.  It was observed that for optimum results in dance performance, a methodology has to be developed in which training is imparted with ergonomics in mind. Ergonomics is a science in which things are designed or crafted to achieve the highest level of proficiency with maximum ease in execution or usage.

Assam: A Landscape of Neglect (60 min; 2015; dvd; English & with subtitles)
A film by Pankaj Butalia who will introduce the screening
Screening will be followed by a discussion
The story of conflict in Assam continues to befuddle analysts. On the one hand is the struggle of Assamese sovereignty that ULFA is engaged in, and on the other, many smaller conflicts that the various tribes are involved in. The filmmaker travels extensively throughout Assam in an attempt to catch the small stories that we have lost sight of
