running from and towards, created and performed by Rakeem Hardy, is an odyssey into the unknown, a dance with the immaterial, a meditation on fear and aspiration. This work is rooted in western contemporary dance.
Muhandis by choreographer Tanveer Alam, is a new work based on the Indian classical dance form of Kathak. Muhandis draws inspiration from jaali (perforated stone) windows commonly found in Indo-Islamic architecture. It explores the characteristics of Islamic architectural geometry prevalent in South Asia, proposing that dancers are architects of space, collectively crafting intricate geometries to animate and activate their surroundings. This ensemble work will be performed by Raghav Monga, Sukriti Sharma, Anjali Tanna, Priyanka Topé, with a new musical score composed by Pavithra Chari.
