Attakkalari India Biennial
Attakkalari India Biennial
Attakkalari India Biennial organised by the Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts is “a platform for fresh voices in contemporary dance, digital arts and research” that was launched in 2000. Held every two years for 10 days in multiple venues across Bengaluru, the festival features main-stage performances and satellite events by dance companies from India and around the world as well as seminars, screenings of films on dance, a writers’ residency and a choreographers’ residency.
Cie Nicole Seiler from Switzerland; Compagnie Marie Chouinard from Canada; Gamblerz & Animation and Second Nature Dance Company from South Korea; Tao Dance Theater from China; and Tero Saarinen Company from Finland are among the international companies that have been part of previous editions. Aditi Mangaldas’ Timeless, Carolyn Carlson’s Man in a Room, Cesc Gelabert’s Gelabert V.O+ and Philip Saire’s Black Out are some of the notable productions to have been staged at the Attakkalari India Biennial over the years. The tenth and most recent edition was a hybrid instalment presented over weekends from December 2021 to February 2022.

A top tip to make the most of the festival: Be sure to sign up for the masterclasses by the international artists to learn and experience their art and process. Very often, these masterclasses culminate in a presentation by the participants as an opening act to the main performance by the artist.
