In 2026, Moving Parts’ Body Matters Festival convenes award-winning practitioners and performers from across the world for ten days of masterclasses, performances and deep embodied inquiry. Bringing together artists, Abhishek Majumdar, Nakula Somana, Indian Ocean founder Susmit Sen, Andrés Fagiolino, Prashant More, InContact, and Moving Parts' associate artists, Avanish Pandey and Siddharta James, the festival creates a unique arena, a symposium, where physical theatre, contemporary dance, and contact improvisation meet - to investigate the forms, how they relate and ask why the body matters - through daytime workshops, evening performances, and artist conversations.


Music fest: 1. Carry summer clothes to beat the humidity. 2. Sandals, flip flops, sneakers (perfect option if it's not likely to rain) or boots (but make sure they are worn in). You need to keep those feet tappin'. On that note, carry a bandana or a scrunchie to avoid tressy accidents with your fellow festival-goers. 3. A sturdy water bottle, if the festival has refillable water stations. 4. COVID packs: Hand sanitiser, extra masks and a copy of your vaccination certificate are things you should keep handy.
