My students have been helping me to prepare for this Conference for most part of the year and the six days have gone by in a flash!And the year is over too!
It was a very important session today, where we looked at how those who fund the arts, whether as patrons or philanthropists or organisers, decide on which artiste is to be supported and promoted. Naturally, all the dancers had many stories to tell about their own frustrations and disappointment with the system. I feel that apart from all the hard work, an element of luck is also necessary and it is easy to get disheartened.
I have been very pleased with the enthusiastic response to this year's Natyakala Conference and am now looking forward to next year!
Wishing all of you a very Happy 2012,
Shantha
