Little Stint [Dance] | Contemporary Narratives

This evening is a unique glimpse into the process of constructing a dance performance. Two distinct pieces in development, invite you to participate in their journey with your feedback. One piece presents classical dancers pushing boundaries of traditional form while the second illustrates the perspective of contemporary dance by examining movement and posture. Abhinaya, will be facilitating your inputs culminating in a collective discussion with all the dancers post the sharing.

Becoming Hero

By Akanksha Kumari & Jasmine Yadav

Becoming Hero is a piece in contemporary dance that investigates what lies beneath the façade of power and seduction of the illustrious film hero? Dancers Akanksha and Jasmine  break up movements and actions from bollywood choreography and gym culture to unravel the traditional archetype. With every thrust and leap, they blur the boundaries between might and fragility, sculpting a fresh vision of the hero; because in this world of shifting paradigms, perhaps there’s more to being a hero than we’ve ever known.

Winged 

by Dali Basu Choudhury and Supriya Nayak

Original music by Jonathan Voyer

Winged symbolizes flight,  metamorphosis, and references our age-old dream of transcending boundaries.  Choreographed by Sonia St-Michel, this duet by Odissi dancers Dali Basu Choudhury and Supriya Nayak, explores the evolution of classical arts in today’s world, and injects new narratives into the classic form.
