Mumbai: The National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA) presents Spectrum 2026 – A Festival of Dances from Around the World, its annual dance festival that brings together classical traditions and contemporary explorations from India and abroad. The 2026 edition reflects this balance through a programme that features Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Kathak and international contemporary dance, alongside a pedagogical masterclass for students and practitioners. While firmly grounded in classical frameworks, both works reflect the artistes’ long-standing engagement with form as a living practice. The festival concludes on Sunday, February 22, at the Experimental Theatre with BRICKS, a Swiss contemporary dance production by choreographer Nicole Morel, with music by Colombian composer Violeta Cruz. Extending the festival beyond performance, Spectrum 2026 also includes two masterclasses presented as part of the NCPA’s Nrityagurukul initiative.
