About This Event
THE NKC UNIVERSE
An annual dance conference, the Natya Kala Conference or NKC, for short, is one of the Krishna Gana Sabha’s marquee properties that has truly stood the test of time since its inception in 1981.
Under one single roof, over four to five days, between December 26 and December 30, the Natya Kala Conference brings together artistes, scholars, writers, academics, critics and lovers of arts, dance in particular, to engage and immerse in a series of lectures and presentations that are thoughtfully curated by a Convenor, who is chosen by the Krishna Gana Sabha.
