'Shifting Focus' brings dance from stage to screen in a specially curated series of films by Aditi Mangaldas known for her path breaking work in both classical and contemporary expressions. The selection spans across forms - opening up new ways of experiencing the dancing body. Each film captures stories, gestures, and ideas that live beyond the live stage, offering a cinematic lens into traditions and experiments alike. At once archive and innovation, these films invite you to see dance differently: through the eye of the camera.

This initiative is part of the Living Legacy Project initiated by Aditi Mangaldas, which aims to present, award, commission and facilitate dialogue, by inviting young exceptional artists. The emphasis is on a 'live legacy', where outstanding young artists will be encouraged to develop and find their own unique voice.
