Post Natyam Collective - August 2006 Newsletter

 

Dear friends,

We are writing from Birmingham where two (Sandra and Shyamala) of us are in a dance intensive organized by SAMPAD.  They brought together 19 dancers and choreographers from 4+ countries, with experience in Indian dances, for a two week intensive with mentors Navtej Singh Johar, Natasha Bakht, Hari Krishnan, Mark Baldwin, Stella Subbiah and Shobana Jeyasingh.  Its exhausting, but exciting!

 

August 14th we will be in London for a performance at the Nehru Centre (details below).  Meanwhile, Sangita is organizing a Bollywood Festival in Prague  www.bollywood.cz and Anjali is waiting for the arrival of her baby, due this month!  

 

Coming Soon:  

*The next Post Natyam performances in Europe:  Prague (Sept. 14) and Munich (Oct. 1) www.asa.munichmasala.de

*Contemporary Dance Workshop in Munich, Sundays in September, 1-4pm. 

Please e-mail us for registration details, we'd love to see you there if you happen to be in Munich in September, or tell your friends who are!

 

Warmly,

Sandra, Shyamala, Sangita and Anjali

An evening with dancers from India, USA and the UK will showcase traditional and contemporary choreography emerging from the creative and innovative work by young dancers who participated in Sampad's Dance Intense project, a  pilot summer dance camp taking place in Birmingham,  for dancers trained in south Asian dance forms with an aim to develop intercultural & international practice and networks, and further, through discussion and workshops with key leaders in the field,  to provide intensive training for those who want to take up dance as a profession within an international framework.

This project has been developed with support from Indian Council for Cultural Relations and The Nehru Centre London.  Other supporters include Arts Council England, Birmingham City Council; Arts Council Ontario, Canadian Arts Council, Dance Umbrella Ontario and the Toronto Arts Counc il.
