Attakkalari India Biennial is South Asia’s largest and most important festival of contemporary movement arts. It is organised over 10 days in multiple venues across Bengaluru with satellite events in other Indian cities. The Biennial is envisioned as a vehicle for celebrating and showcasing the combined visions of artists in dance, digital arts and design from around the world and continues to serve as a forum for fresh ideas and the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge and expertise in dance, design and research.
The 2017 Biennial marked the situation of contemporary movement arts in the realm of public and cultural discourse in Bengaluru and, from there, across India. The festival encouraged exchanges between multicultural artists and organisations with a view to developing contemporary approaches by providing support frameworks, in addition to presenting internationally acclaimed performances from all over the world.
The Spanish dance company Guy Nadar and Maria Campos was featured in the Centre-Stage programme of the Attakkalari India Biennial 2017, with the support of AC/E's Mobility Programme, and the artists from the guest company took part in a post-performance discussion and gave master classes.
The Spanish dance company was thus exposed to the work of other artists, as the festival was based on the idea of being rooted in tradition while also exploring the meeting ground of modernity through contemporary dance pieces.
