Dear Members,

Greetings for the New Year!

The vibrant image of the phulkari on the January calendar captures the spirit of this month's programmes: festive, feminine, and the collective. In a first, IHC celebrates Lohri through an ode to the feminine graces of the festival. Vocalist Sunanda Sharma, from the Benaras Gharana & Punjabi Sufi singer, Rekha Raj, present an evening of singing, dancing and eating together around a bonfire on

ththe 13 .

Combining the classical, the folk and the modern, Vrindan (1st), an ethno-music ensemble, heralds the music performances for the month. Artistes from both

thCarnatic and Hindustani styles come together to perform Laya Madhuram (8 ), one of the longest and rare thalas in Carnatic percussion music.

thTraditional Bharatanatyam Margam by Shreya Iyer (14 ), Kuchipudi by

thBhavana Reddy (17 ) are some of the other dance highlights.

The feminine also extends itself to our film screenings this month - Shazia thIqbal's Bebaak, which looks at patriarchal control over women's bodies (20 ).

th thGenesis (24 ) & Mouthpiece (25 ) presented in collaboration with the High Commission of Canada, depict the many, diverse lives women lead. In the monthly series of 35 mm screenings in collaboration with DFF, we warmly

th invite you to watch Priyadarshan's Kanchivaram (2008), on 10 January, which also happens to be the birthday month of the immensely popular director.

stDirector Anandana Kapur's documentary Aayi Gayi (31 ) comments upon the complex relationship between the State and its people, through the lens of electricity, a commodity we take for granted in our urban lives.

thKathak for its inaugural session on 18 January.th

Popular stand-up comic Amit Tandon's show Masala Sandwich (11 ) about the mid-life crisis in his 40s is sure to tickle your funny bones, as is Pierrot Troupe's

thlatest, Akbar The Great Nahin Rahe (4 ). At the other end of the dramatic array, lies

thQaidi (19 ), a courtroom drama by Akshara Theatre, and Dramatech's Towards th

Zero (25 ), a murder mystery adapted from Agatha Christie's detective novel of the same name.

Among the rejuvenating monthlies, the IHC Music Club presents Parampara - Journey & Intricacies of Hindustani Classical Music, a talk on the importance of the
