spiritual search with the audience or even dwell into the interconnectedness between theatre and dance

For the last 15 years, Sangeeta has been experimenting in dance techniques with village school children in Andretta (H.P.), bringing out their potential by making use of the limited resources available in the area. With a strong base in street theatre, she has been exploring the connection between dance and theatre, the audience and performer through her own choreographic work and through workshops in Himachal with actors, supported by the Sangeet Natak Academy (2006) and National School of Drama (2007,08). Apart from the regular dance classes in Triveni Kala sangam presently she is taking new production oriented workshop With Bhoomika dancers

Sangeeta Sharma says ..... ......

Creativ
ful ways, in which their body can move. It can constantly challenge their physical and mental boundaries to reach somewhere beyond...

To me dance is a means of sharing, of achieving and of expressing all types of feelings.Working with professionals and nonprofessionals, with a formal or informal presentation – I began to recognize & develop both aesthetic and social values.

I explored the dynamic interaction between the audience and the performer.
Contemporary Indian Dance is a lifelong commitment for me. It weaves in modern Indian sensibilities. Its whole scenario is passing through the challenges of 21st century. The vocabulary and the settings are changing ...., for example, dancers today are exploring movement disciplines through Yoga, Martial Arts, Chhau etc.
