Reflections on the residency - Debashree Bhattacharya, participant


Fragments of thoughts......

The breathing body, the kathak body, form, shape, concepts, grammar, technique, re-visiting,  addressing questioning, counter-questions, queries, answers, contradictions…
Books, dance education, history, evolution, discussions, brain storming sessions, contemporary dance, modern dance, video clippings, brilliant choreographers and performers, improvisational exercises, William Forsythe, Amanda Miller, 9-point system ................. all these and many more baffled my mind as I journeyed through the 10 day workshop conducted by Vikram Iyengar and Anika Bendel.
