Manoj Srivastava IAS and Ex Addl. Chief Secretary MP Government said that
History is the wave of time, the witness of our mortals. Art is the leap towards immortality.
Dr. Shailesh Srivastava said Arts are life. Living life is an art, As far as the history of art is concerned, the reality is that history and civilization are the result of arts and artistic life. Merely the history of time has no special meaning. The journey of human civilization itself becomes history. That’s why the history of any animal is not thought of. Only the civilized man and his civilization have a history.
Dr. Ramesh Gaur Director National School of Drama said that Visual art recounts stories of our past, it gives an account of past events. Art history allows us to look back and understand how our civilization evolved over the centuries. It is a way to know ourselves better. Why do we have certain values? What shaped the way we think and our vision of the world?
Renowned theatre actor & Director Sanjay Mehta said Indian theatre emerged in the 15th century BC. Vedic text such as Rigveda provides evidence of drama plays being enacted during Yagya ceremonies. The dialogues mentioned in the texts range from one person monologues to three person dialogues such as the dialogue between Indra, Indrani and Vrishakapi. For instance, one rigvedic monologue is about a gambler whose life is ruined because of it and has estranged his wife caves dating back to the 3rd century BC and Khandagiri caves from the 2nd century BC are the earliest examples of theatre architecture in India.
Recipient of Sangeet Natak Akademi Sattriya Exponent Dr Ranjumoni Saikia added that Assam has a long history in dance and art, as indicated by copper plate writings and art from the Shaivism and Shaktism traditions. Singing and musical traditions have also been traced back to the Assamese chorus singing tradition for the Hindu epics Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Maya kulshreshtha , history of dance as such some people it’s 2000 years old but wtever i read or experience history of dance as old as humans life as we have 8 classical dance every classical dance has different story of origin.
Kathak started from Temples then travel along with the time Muslim courts ,British even artists played very important role in freedom fights too .
