Manifesto
Who are we?
Three wildly passionate feminist dancers, artists and spiritual gangsters who love all things dance, music, art, spirituality and activism. We come from a long legacy of classical Bharatanatyam training, which is steeped in a tradition within which we aim to innovate, to carve our own path in this wonderful madness called dance. We are passionate about womanhood, education, healing and saving our planet!
What do we do?
We do yoga. We meditate. We DANCE. We play with rhythm. We activate space and minds. We listen, we learn, we teach. And we do a whole lot of lunges, planks, jumps and stretches - pushing our bodies, minds and creativity to new limits with every beat forward.
What is our mission?
To teach, expand, uplift and sometimes even disrupt “Indian” art and culture within contemporary South Africa. To use dance as a voice of activation and activism. To spark ideas and creative outbursts in the minds of younger humans. To create a world filled with more people who enjoy and appreciate that arts, who are curious, compassionate and caring. To teach ‘outside the box’ creative thinking and use dance as a catalyst for positive change.
What is our dream?
A Place. To become a creative institution that flourishes into a holistic learning centre, filled with dance, music, visual arts, poetry and literature. A place where the arts are understood and practiced as daily sadhana, as complete oneness with the body, mind and spirit. We dream of a campus that is the home of such an institution, one that is filled with many creative practitioners, both local and international, who teach, learn, perform, reflect and create in absolute rhythm with the universe.
