Discovering Indian Folk Dances At The Nattukoothu Festival

Nattukoothu Festival is an event to showcase Indian folk dances to the masses, especially as they’re not commonly practiced and well-known compared to classical Indian dances. The event is organised by a group of final year students, together with ASWARA as a way to educate the public on the nuances and the differences of these dances. Joining us to walk us through the curation process of an event of this nature are Event Manager, Saraventhiran Neelamalai, and the students’ supervisor, Faizal Ashraf Azhar.

Produced by: Haniff Baharudin, Estelle Siow
