The artist and choreographer Revanta Sarabhai is rooted in traditional bharata natyam, martial arts and performance arts.

His work has been showcased at Southbank Centre’s Alchemy Festival (UK), Korzo Theatre’s Cadance Festival of Modern Dance (NL), Europalia (BE), and Attakkalari Biennale (IN). Revanta will demonstrate and talk about about his creative process, specifically focusing on how he use the Classical Indian dance (or sometimes even everyday actions) as a starting point to create gestural movement and dance in a contemporary context.

16.00-17.00 Open discussion
National and international choreographers working in the field of Indian classical and contemporary dance will discuss the following questions: What strives and inspires us to work with elements or techniques from Indian classical dance in a contemporary context? How do we communicate with our audience? How do we deal with traditional symbolic gestures and narration in a contemporary and new context? Moderated by Ulrika Larsen (choreographer and producer).
