It is initiated by artistic director Santosh Nair, where artistes/companies showcase 15 minutes of their contemporary work. The idea is to bring works from both established and upcoming artistes/companies, creating a repertoire that reflects the varied foundations of the choreographers and their unique style of drawing from the same.
Different dance companies will be presenting their own interpretations of the ‘contemporary’ style explains Nalini Sharma from Sadhya.
The main idea behind Quarterfest is to bring in varied styles performing the contemporary adding their own touches to it. The festival promises to bring a repertoire of works reflecting varied foundations and their unique style of drawing from the same root – contemporary dance. Quarterfest is taking place under the artistic direction of Santosh Nair of Sadhya.
The best part about the two day celebration this year is perhaps that the opening day (8 December) coincides with the birth anniversary of Uday Shankar, the father of contemporary dance in India. Infact, adds Nalini, the opening piece, aptly called Ode to the Gurus – is a tribute to Shankar.
Santosh Nair on the occasion says,  “It is a platform for innovation.  The idea is to create an opportunity for Choreographers  to explore their  creativity."
