Our Red Curtain Repertoire showcases a
method of unique dance theatre and performance, that dares to break away from the conventions of stereotypical expectations from a dance maker, specially one of South Asian
descent.
The drive to reinvent genres and break away from traditional processes of dance performance stems from
- The varied experiences in the entertainment
industry and the experiences gathered from the rich, multicultural
underground jazz/cabaret and club/dance scenes of London.
- The understanding for the need of a
common dialogue between cultures and generations in today's world
and the innate ability to spot similarities and celebrate contrasts
between cultures and genres, resulting in a repertoire that is
forever expansive and genre defying and has the potential to appeal to all.
