Dance Lovers looking for the latest information on Performance by Artist in Meeraqi Residency can register to attend MASS: A Contemporary Dance Performance In Bangalore By Satakshi Nandi At Meeraqi scheduled for January 12th and 13th 2018 at 7:30 pm.


Meeraqi is sponsoring this year’s event, which will cover key issues such as:


Movement with Obstruction – The main theme of this contemporary dance performance is the depiction of obstruction that literally gets expressed while the dancer is moving with the rope.


Movement with Barriers – The immediate visual of barriers and borders may seem apparent and that is exactly one of the symbols of the piece. The politics of being obstructed, or being deprived of inhabiting two spaces at the same time, and one’s survival within these demarcations becoming a never ending juggle, becomes more stark as the contemporary dance performance progresses.


Concept of Space and Time – Because the concept of space and time is warped, the movement vocabulary needs to be interpretations of movements from contemporary rather than directly dancing the familiar movements themselves.
