Kolkata and Bengaluru-based organisation Artsforward curates and produces At the Still Point, a crowd-funded Indian contemporary dance platform, launched in 2017. The festival spotlights \u201cartists whose work is edgy, dynamic and extraordinary in the way it contributes to current social and political discourse\u201d. An \u201cintervention into the artist-audience relationship, it seeks to make the community a stakeholder in the nurturing of dancers and their practice\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past editions of the festival have been themed around acts such as Mandeep Raikhy’s Queen Size<\/em> in 2017, Body Sense <\/em>inspired by Diya Naidu’s Rorschach Touch <\/em>and and Avantika Bahl’s Say, What?<\/em> in 2018, Strange Times <\/em>inspired by Diya Naidu’s Strange Intimacies<\/em> and Satakshi Nandy\u2019s Strange Fruit<\/em> in 2019, Amorphous<\/em> by Ronita Mookerji and documentarian Priyanshi Vasani and Atho Hidimba Katha<\/em> by the Samuho Collective in 2020 and Detritus in 2022.
