This online workshop looks at exploring the construction and deconstruction of movement vocabulary with an aim to propose a fresh visibility of the body. Inspired by the Kathak dance grammar, we look at dynamism of movements and its arrangements. We will be informed by the flow of the body in the present moment of time, here and now.

This workshop is not only for those trained in Kathak, but open to dancers who would love to explore a new form too.
