An evening of performance featuring solos, duets, and trios from the vibrant repertoire of Nova Dance.
Choreographer Nova Bhattacharya’s creations invite audiences on a journey of the imagination through movement, music and colour. Celebrating the transformative power of dance as a ritual of gathering, Decoded Dances features Mel Hart, Neena Jayarajan, Rachana Joshi and Bhattacharya.
The program consists of Calm Abiding Duet No. 1; this 2006 solo for Bhattacharya created by Montreal’s José Navas is reconfigured as a duet for dancers aged 25 (Joshi) & 55 (Bhattacharya) in a powerful portrayal of the freedom of form. Maskura, a seminal solo, now performed by multiple dancers exemplifies Bhattacharya’s diversiform aesthetic. Broken Lines is an award-winning duet, with two dancers pushing the limits of theatrically and rhythmic complexity. Elemental is a danced ritual of offering to Mother Earth and our environment, it reverberates with poetic elegance and joyous catharsis.
