REPERTORY WORKSHOPS

KDC repertoire includes the trio Ankusha (acrobatic contemporary dance sourcing Bharata Natyam movement), solo Babushka vs. Renaissance Man (South Indian martial arts meets popping) and solo Less of Me (Bharata Natyam gestural language integrating vocal monologue and contemporary dance). Repertory workshops with the company include warm ups introducing the dance techniques employed in a selected piece before learning a segment of the piece. Creative tasks can also be added so students have a chance to create their own material inspired by the theme and vocabulary of the repertory they’ve learned.

Feedback on Ankusha repertory workshop held for the BA Dance: Urban Practice programme, University of East London, Winter 2015:

‘It challenged my trust with other dancers and allowed me to trust in my own abilities. The support we received throughout the workshop was fantastic!’
