Details

A collection of four dance pieces. Shane Shambhu's piece Impermanence brings together the essence of Buddhist philosophy and the root of Indian mysticism. It looks at how both cultures address the removal of ignorance as a way to achieve a life free from suffering and explores if this approach can be applied to modern life. His piece Bound looks at the stressfulness of train journey to an individual wanting to reach a destination urgently. Sarra Whicheloe, a UK based Bharatanatyam dancer, presents her piece Bholenath, a contemporary choreography capturing the strength and the raw and honest nature of the god Shiva. The third performance was choreographed by members of South African Tribhangi Dance Theatre, who toured the UK in Autumn 2006. A group of Birmingham based dancers present the results of a three day long choreolab with the company. The piece was also performed as a curtain raiser for Tribhangi's performance at mac last October.
