Immerse in the India Extravaganza: ANVESHANA 2025
Gear up for the return of ANVESHANA, the 2nd International Conference on Performing Arts, happening May 8-9 at the iconic Triveni Auditorium, Mandi House, New Delhi! This year's theme, "Indian Knowledge Systems and Performing Arts in a Global Context," positions ANVESHANA 2025 as a vibrant platform for thought-provoking discussions and innovative collaborations. Whether you're an academic, performer, student, or simply a cultural connoisseur, register now!
In today's landscape, indigenous knowledge systems are gaining international acclaim for their eco-friendly, holistic, and harmonious approaches to education, health, and societal structures. As India reinforces its intellectual and cultural influence globally, ANVESHANA 2025 serves as a vital forum to articulate the advanced knowledge systems hidden within our traditional artistic traditions.
"At a time when the world is yearning for innovative solutions to modern challenges, this conference offers an exciting opportunity to explore the profound wisdom engrained within our artistic heritage," remarked Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Vice Chancellor of the World University of Design. "The convergence of diverse minds from traditional gurus to contemporary researchers enables us to demonstrate how ancient principles can be applied to address contemporary dilemmas in education, mental health, and sustainable development," he added.
Since its inception, ANVESHANA has expanded its scope, now investigating traditional practices such as the guru-shishya parampara (mentor-disciple tradition), rasa theory (emotional aesthetics), and embodied knowledge transfer. Their implications on modern teaching methods, mental health, and social cohesiveness lie at the heart of this year's conference.
Dr. Parul Vats, Dean of the School of Performing Arts, World University of Design, emphasized ANVESHANA 2025's transformative potential, "We are committed to positioning Indian performing arts within a framework that recognizes them as rich knowledge systems rather than mere artistic expressions. Our aim is to create a unique academic space where practice and theory intertwine, where ancient wisdom and modern challenges meet, and where artists and scholars can engage in productive dialogue across disciplines."
ANVESHANA 2025's engaging sessions and performances delve into topics like music therapy, dance as mindfulness, and the psychological impact of ragas. This year, participants can look forward to discussions on gender roles in classical dance forms such as Bharatanatyam, the integration of acoustic science in temple architecture, and the profound influence of arts on cognitive and emotional development. Up-and-coming scholars will also highlight the burgeoning significance of Indian performing arts as diplomatic tools in today's globalized world.
Numerous curated performances will accentuate scholarly presentations, translating theoretical concepts into tangible experiences. These demonstrations showcase how traditional knowledge systems remain agile and applicable while addressing contemporary concerns. Be prepared to be mesmerized by esteemed performers like Guru Smt. Malti Shyam, a renowned Kathak dancer, and acclaimed dance therapist Shri Tribhuwan Maharaj, to name just a few.
ANVESHANA 2025 is poised to catalyze national initiatives to revitalize indigenous knowledge systems and illustrate their relevance in our rapidly evolving world. The discussions that arise from this event will likely guide cultural policy, academic curricula, and international cultural exchange programs. Mark your calendars for this momentous event, and let yourself be inspired by the dynamic fusion of tradition and innovation!
"Joining ANVESHANA 2025 not only offers an opportunity to delve into the richness of Indian performing arts but also puts a spotlight on their educational and self-developmental benefits in today's lifestyle."
"Attendees can expect stimulating conversations that explore how ancient principles of Indian Knowledge Systems can be applied to contemporary issues in education, mental health, and sustainable development as part of the education-and-self-development landscape."
