Mangalore, September 12: Research, experiments, innovation and creativity is quite essential for the survival of any art for Corporate Affairs M Veerappa Moily.
He was delivering presidential address at the valedictory ceremony of the platinum jubilee celebration of Kadri Nritya Vidyalaya at Town Hall here on Sunday evening.
Mr Moily said an art form can survive by making necessary modifications based on its classical back ground and tradition, failing which Indian art forms would lose their value in the days to come, he said.
“The essence of every art form is dependent on the region and culture it hails from. But the culture of region keeps changing like a flowing water and the art form should undergo necessary modifications”, he said.
Art critic A Eshwariah said that in the recent years 100-200 Vidwath performances are held in the coastal region every year.
Two to three Ranga Pravesha programmes are held every month. The society and community have changed in the last two-three decades, he said.
Malathi Moily, Educationist A J Shetty, litterateur N Damodar Shetty and other were present.
