Divya Kasturi & Shane Shambu Double Bill

Divya Kasturi & Shane Shambu Double BillT01888772364
See two extracts from two up and coming dancers, each with a unique take on classic South Asian dance. NowHere by Divya Kasturi involves two emotionally charged, angst filled performance acts, challenging the notion of living and belonging 'inbetween'. It tests a dancer's boundaries within the classical, traditional and contemporary aesthetics. Using dance, music, rhythm, vocals and visual elements, NowHere explores the meaning of both 'nowhere' and 'now here'. The second piece is called Leaving Only a Trace by Shane Shambu. Shane Shambhu Company creates theatre rooted in the traditional South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam. By representing the modern society we live in and exposing human experiences and behaviour, the company creates works that stir up emotions. Leaving Only a Trace is a revealing story shared by many of dual-heritage in the UK. A young British-Asian man realises the only way to find himself is to leave home. Whilst packing his belongings he begins to unravel the past and wonders whether cultural values have restricted him. He has to let go of his past to come to terms with his future. Leaving Only a Trace is supported by Akram Khan Company, Akademi, Dance East, The Hat Factory, Sampad and Tara Arts
