Portfolio Bridging improvisation with individual choice and purpose
LATEST WORK
So long
‘So Long’ is a film that cherishes relationships that exist beyond time. It is a real-time film that captures the warm feeling of meeting old acquaintances with whom we once had an intimate relationship.
A film by Bhumanyu Nehra
Performed by Vaishnavi Sharma and Somya Kautia
Ocean – A Solo Performance
The piece germinated from the movement of the spine emerging through the shoulder and hip joints. How manipulating a movement quality brought in a sensation of the ocean across the body and permitted dynamic weight shifts, is the focus of the performance.
Conceptualized and performed by yours truly.
Fleetin’
Time moves. Love fades. Art evolves. Change is inevitable, so why resist?
Caught in the chaos of expectations and desire. What do you hold on to as time passes by?
Fleeting is a show curated by Parth Sethi and Aarya Singh. Choreography by yours truly.
A 3-month long process, approached by various improvisational techniques. The show gave dancers the space to improvise on a pre-designed score and included some choreographed phrases.
A Plea: Educate
A natural, magical, unconventional collaboration.
As the name suggests, it is a plea, a request to acknowledge our ignorance, accept that we need to make active efforts, and just follow through. A plea to educate.
Formerly a podcast created by Tanvi that later culminated into a live performance, which consists of (1) the portraits, and (2) the dialogue.
Translating movement into visuals – Light Painting collaboration with Vibhu Tejas
Movement qualities have worked as the most basic vocabulary for me to begin from and then break out of. Here is a visual representation of it along with some experimental images from our collaboration.
Parallel – An Intuitive Playground
‘Parallel’ is a real-time performance, giving improvisation a new space- the stage. The performance is full of surprises not just for you but also for the dancers as they interact with the space, music, intuition, and bodies in time.
