The prominent element of music goes hand in hand with dance. Pioneer of contemporary dance in India, Padma Shri and Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee Astad Deboo will be collaborating with noted rudra-veena player and Sangeet Natak Akademi awardee Mohi Baha’ud-din Dagar to discover this interconnection between contemporary dance and Indian classical music. This collaboration is a prelude to a larger production that would be premiered at the NCPA in late 2018 and is in association with the Astad Deboo Dance Foundation.
