Dreaming Now
Dreaming Now was a South Asian dance-led contemporary spectacle, that juxtaposed the lyricism of Kathak and Ballet with the spirited dynamics of Bharatanatyam, modern dance and circus. Punctuated by special effects, this vivid and fresh piece emphasised the way dreams can change in an instant, combining elements that clash at first glance, but ultimately work together to create a new reality.
The production was a re-working of the highly acclaimed Sapnay, originally directed by esteemed choreographers Gauri Sharma Tripathi and Mavin Khoo. This production introduced rising contemporary choreographer Jennifer Irons with an inspiring cast of dancers.
