As co-presenters with Krishna Gana Sabha, Chennai, Arangham Trust pioneered Past Forward an exciting dance festival for talented young dancers / choreographers to perform in Chennai during January each year. The festival ran for three successful years, from 1998 to 2000
The festival showcased 3 performances either solo or by a group which draws its repertoire from the traditional storehouse of Indian dance and yet is influenced by the contemporary world in its artistic expression and interpretation.
The platform thus provided, encouraged innovation and creativity, allowing
the art form to flourish and scale new peaks – breathing new life breath into the great traditions of music and dance – looking back and looking ahead…
