Prakriti Foundation

Masoom was the local coordinator and production manager for Prakriti Excellence in Contemporary Dance Awards (PECDA) Edition V from Apr 18-23, 2022.

PECDA is a biennial pan-Indian open-entry competition of works in progress for contemporary choreographers and dancers. It was founded with a vision to nurture a community of contemporary dancers and recognize excellence in the field of contemporary dance. PECDA, for contemporary dance artists, is a launchpad for their future development and ultimately aiming to develop the contemporary dance community in the country.

PECDA has been blueprinted in 2012 by dance enabler Karthika Nair (poet, producer and co-founder of Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui's company Eastman).
