Class 8 Arts Kriti Chapter 13 NCERT Solutions Overview
Innovation, Inclusivity and Inspiring Change explains how dance can grow from tradition while responding to present-day life. The PDF keeps every answer source-based and easy to write in a school notebook.
The chapter introduces innovation in dance, Kalaripayattu, Thang-Ta, creative choreographers, inclusivity, Republic Day 2025, dance for social change and Dance Beyond Gender. The main idea is that dance can preserve roots while creating new spaces for expression and people.
- Innovation grows from dance traditions, observation and original thought.
- Martial arts and allied forms can be used creatively in choreography.
- Inclusivity means dance should be accessible across ability, age and gender.
- Dance can start conversations on environment, gender and compassion.
Innovation in Dance and Allied Forms
The chapter begins with the image of a tree: deeper roots allow higher branches. In the same way, deeper knowledge of dance traditions helps a dancer create fresh work.
It then shows how allied forms can enrich dance. Kalaripayattu brings body control, animal stances and self-defence training. Thang-Ta brings sword-and-spear movement, breath control and ritual energy.
Creative Choreography Examples in Chapter 13
The NCERT chapter names artists who have used dance to communicate contemporary ideas. Narendra Sharma, Acharya Parvatikumar, Chandralekha and Kumudini Lakhia are highlighted for creative choreography.
- Narendra Sharma developed creative dance and socially relevant works.
- Acharya Parvatikumar integrated Indian dance styles in dance dramas.
- Chandralekha combined Bharatanatyam with yoga, Kalaripayattu and literature.
- Kumudini Lakhia refreshed Kathak through group choreography and contemporary themes.
Inclusivity in Dance
Inclusivity in dance means removing barriers so that dance can belong to people of different ages, abilities, genders and cultural backgrounds. The chapter also says that the beauty of dance lies in bringing people together.
The Republic Day 2025 example shows this idea at a national scale. Over 5,000 folk and tribal artists performed together on Kartavya Path, setting a Guinness World Record and showing unity through diversity.

Common Mistakes in Chapter 13 Answers
Students often write broad lines such as dance is creative, but the chapter expects source-linked details. A better answer names the activity, artist or example from the NCERT text.
- Do not separate innovation from tradition. The chapter says strong roots support new branches.
- Do not write martial arts as decoration only. Mention movement sequences, stances and breath control.
- Do not define inclusivity too narrowly. Include ability, age, gender and shared cultural platforms.
- Do not skip examples. Republic Day 2025 and Keibul Lamjao make answers more source-based.
