SUMMARY:Why Dance When No One is Watching?
DESCRIPTION:This event is secretly a pitch. \nAn invitation to draw you into the pleasure\, pain\, and politics of contemporary dance. \nDiya Naidu and Priyabrat Panigrahi\, long-time collaborators\, arrive with a question they cannot stop asking: Why do we even bother? Why dance when no one is watching? This lecture demonstration is their attempt to convince you\, and themselves! \nThe work moves through images\, video\, live dance\, and conversation. It is devised and autobiographical\, borrowing freely from cultures and artists across the world\, as contemporary dance does. Chaotic by design\, it is also structured: a multi-medium inquiry unfolding in thematic chapters\, tracing the history\, the obsessions\, and the particular intelligence of the contemporary dancing body. You will be part of the experiential closing segment.  \nAt the centre of it all is a single\, looming question: Can the dancing body be of service? \nThis event is a part of our programming to celebrate World Dance Day 2026\, ‘The Many Lives of Dance’. \n
