SUMMARY:LITTLE STINT | Tanashah
DESCRIPTION:Navtej Johar’s latest solo performance headlines the first day of Little Stint II. The 75-minute piece\, which has been hailed as ‘groundbreaking’\, is very much based in current times. It explores the extremes in our lives\, both political and personal. Johar harnesses all his powers as a dancer\, choreographer and yogi in this theatrical work based on the prison diaries of the young revolutionary Bhagat Singh. It draws particular influence from the searing clarity—particularly for a 23-year-old facing death at the hands of the Empire—of the essay Why I am an Atheist. Vocals by Madan Gopal Singh and K Venkateshwaran emphasise the extremes of thought and emotion and immerse the audience in the mind of a young man coming to terms with where he belongs. \nThere are several similarities in the early lives of Bhagat and Johar. Born to conservative\, religious Punjabi families\, both grew up with those inherited values. Both were drawn to the works of the great Punjabi poets. Over time\, each grappled with values\, beliefs\, the status quo in society and their role in it. Each emerged from this inner struggle with clarity and grace. As a male Bharatanatyam dancer Johar continues to push the envelope–of form and substance. Tanashah–-as much an homage to the old poets of Punjab as a reiteration of his relationship with Bhagat as a poet and a revolutionary–is a powerful and moving addition to his award-winning body of work.

SUMMARY:LITTLE STINT | Embodied
DESCRIPTION:Embodied is an exploratory\, performative dialogue between a contemporary dancer (Surjit) and a classical dancer (Babina). Collectively\, the duo dive into the history and techniques of Manipuri dance–a form that they each embody. Through this piece they introduce the audience to the specific socio-cultural sensibilities that Manipuri dance is imbued with; sensibilities and context that have\, at times in the past\, been conflicting. The program combines talk\, engaging the audience in the history of Manipuri dance and how it has evolved in its performance aspects. Through demonstration\, Babina urges us to peel past these layers and ask fundamental questions regarding the form and\, by extension\, perhaps classical dance itself. What does the dancer themselves embody? Where does the core of Manipuri dance lie–in the language of its performance or in its time-honoured tradition of restraint? \nIn this exploratory presentation Surjit and Babina lead the audience to a land and culture that mainland India\, as illustrated by the ongoing conflict in the state\, has invariably kept at arm’s length. Along with their own questions of how they embody this classical form they urge us to question wider ideas of how we might belong to one-another. Or not…

SUMMARY:LITTLE STINT | Angdaai Project
DESCRIPTION:Kaun Angdaai Le Raha hai ‘Adam’\nDo Jahan Ladkhadaye Jaate Hain \nThe words of Abdul Hamid Adam reflect the sensual power of this seemingly unconscious action. Through movement\, somatics and a soundscape that both reacts to and is influenced by the performers Vaishnavi and Aabshaar\, this choreographic exploration takes us on a trip to feel the poetic resonance of the angdaai–far beyond the ‘lazy stretch’ that it translates into in English. For the threesome presenting this work in progress\, it’s an invocation—an opening\, a shift\, a reset button for the body and soul. \nThe Angdaai Project came out of the pandemic—when humanity as a whole went through a series of involuntary movements—a period during which all living beings danced an involuntary dance of adjustments and contractions.The idea–to reclaim the body’s freedom against a seemingly relentless stream of stimulus\, restrictions\, labels\, and commands. It stems from the understanding that even a tiny physical adjustment is testimony to the body’s intelligence and inherent knowledge\, making it somehow wiser than the loud and dominating mind that commands it. This project looks at belonging to the body and how the body belongs\, manifests\, connects and unites the inside with the outside. This is the first public iteration of a work in progress that asks the audience to participate in its evolution.

SUMMARY:Little Stint [Movement/Theatre] | Ghoomnein Chalein
DESCRIPTION:By Aabshaar Wakhloo with Nagina & Katyayini Pant \nStep into the world of ‘Ghoomne Chalein\,’ a dance-theatre piece where invisible barriers and societal constructs are laid bare. Three performers come together to share their starkly different personal narratives of encounters and negotiation. Integrating movement and spoken word with audio recordings and songs from their homes and environment\, they unravel stories of freedom\, fear\, and desire in both private and public gendered spaces. \nIn their united stand\, they find an infectious quest and zest for claiming freedom\, unveiling a choreography of friendship and solidarity\, while also questioning who gets to access public spaces. Each narrative unfolds to challenge our understanding of boundaries and welcomes reflections on collective liberation. \nShow details: \nDay & Date: Saturday\, 7th Oct \nDoors Open at  6 PM \nShow starts at 6:30 PM \nDuration: 45min \nVenue: Shed 9\, The Dhan Mill\, Chattarpur \nAge: 18 years and above \nBuy Donor Pass: INR 500  \nStudent Pass: INR 350  \nDonor passes partly enable artistic endeavors.

SUMMARY:Little Stint [Dance] | Contemporary Narratives
DESCRIPTION: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. \n \nBecoming Hero \nBy Akanksha Kumari & Jasmine Yadav \nBecoming 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. \n \nWinged  \nby Dali Basu Choudhury and Supriya Nayak \nOriginal music by Jonathan Voyer \nWinged 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. \n  \nShow details: \nDay & Date: Thursday\, 5th Oct  \nDoors Open at  6:30 PM \nSharing starts at 7 PM \nDuration: 1hr 30mins including a brief intermission \nVenue: Shed 9\, The Dhan Mill\, Chattarpur \nAge: 18 years and above \n  \nBuy Donor Pass for the evening: INR 700  \nStudent pass: INR 350 \nDonor passes partly enable artistic endeavors.
