Natya Kala Conference organised by Krishna Gana Sabha as part of the December festival season in Chennai saw few people attending the lecture demonstrations this year. The theme for 2007 was sangeetham in dance - music in dance. Strange that convenor Bharati Shivaji did not invite a single music composer to present a paper. Nevertheless some of the presentations like Manipuri, Chhau, Nangiarkoothu etc. were educational for dance students of Chennai. Here are some pictures I took during conference days.
