Workshop Lead: Brannavy Jeyasundaram
"We Will Remember This: Nova Bhattacharya’s Svāhā!" holds a moment in the life of a dance company and its artistic work during the global pandemic. With shuttered theatres and empty rehearsal halls, dance artists searched for new ways of working when all performances stopped and close contact with other bodies wasn’t always possible. Join the author and curator Brannavy Jeyasundaram for selected readings and behind-the-scenes stories of the book writing process for a glimpse into the creation of this inspiring work.
