Beyond Boundaries
For our latest piece Beyond Boundaries, Artistic Director Sushmita Pati was joined by contemporary dance choreographer Cathy Seago. Cathy brings a wealth of experience and vision, she is currently a senior lecturer in dance at Winchester University and director of Evolving Motion Dance Company.
The piece created a fusion of western contemporary and Odissi (Indian classical) forms to create a new, innovative piece of work. In Beyond Boundaries they will be exploring movements and connotations from different cultures and cultural forms. The piece will look at emotional sensibilities in both forms presented through dynamic physical movements combining it with varied and powerful hand gestures.
The choreography will be enriched by music composed specifically for the piece incorporating three live musicians from Western and South Asian traditions (Wave Drums, Clarinet and Vocals). Beyond Boundaries aims to be innovative and inspiring and will also incorporate elements of visual and performed text to complete this multidisciplinary vision.
