It's time to redefine dance, as we know it. Indira Parthasarathy at the Attakkalari Contemporary Dance Festival...

Thinking on the Feet

Chronotopia, with its multi–racial production crew, was also demonstrative of the Festival as a forum for international collaboration and cultural exchange, ensuring art partook of the fruits of globalisation too. In contrast, sitting in for Quantransitions was a relatively more indigenous experience, albeit no less intriguing. The Rhythmosaic Dance Company quartet from Kolkata led by husband–wife team Ronnie and Mitul, with Amit and Prasanna showcased Quantum Mechanics of a Psychophysical Journey through an elaborate pastiche combining Kathak and western jazz moves. Set to minimalist music – even absent in parts – the audience was inevitably drawn to the kinetics on stage, ranging in tempo from near-stillness to a blur of motion. Physics, for once, had everyone riveted!

After the 30-minute quantransition experience, Jonah Bokaer presented Charade, wherein elaborate acrobatics by him were seen replicated over digital animation on the screen, realised, as a video showed, by attaching sensors to his body. At one point, he solemnly surveyed the audience while munching on an apple, a move he later described as “returning the gaze” trick, as an attempt to exact what is otherwise rarely doable in live theatre or dance.

As the aficionados filed in for the shows, excitement and curiosity sounded in equal measure. Said Jaissy John, business developer for a leading cellphone manufacturer, and a contemporary dance student herself until ‘connecting people’ at work left her little time for the arts, “I used to be more of a regular at such events, but it’s been a while now… What makes contemporary dance interesting is that it’s like abstract art; it breaks away from the structures as defined in traditional forms.”
