Naya Daur – New beginnings

14th October 2025 - 18th November 2025

Naya Daur (New beginnings) blends storytelling, movement, and music from the Indian classical tradition to introduce a powerful, unfamiliar art form to older, socially isolated individuals. It culminates in a celebratory sharing that centres the voices, movements and experiences of the participants.

This project is going to be delivered in partnership with Neighbourhood Action- a charity based in Farnley, New Farnley and Moor top community, working with and for older people over the age of 65.

This project is aimed at introducing classical Indian dance – Bharatnatyam to some of the members of this group. 

This project will allow physically inactive/socially disadvantaged communities to build their physical wellbeing, create a sense of community, build their relationships while engaging in diverse arts.
