About Contemporary Dance:
Contemporary dance is the use of trained bodies, along with the language of Indian dance and music to explore the inner reaches of the human mind, to chase the shadows of reality and illusion, and to encompass themes and ideas that strike more directly at the heart of today’s audience. Moving bodies, moving souls is the essence of the contemporary dance.
Contemporary dance can be conceived as a new way of thinking about today, a form of expression through movement that process memory, experience and imagination. The emphasis of contemporary dance is on originality, innovation, creativity, inter-disciplinary and excitement.
