Join BINDI BOSSES, an independent South Asian contemporary dance company, for two vibrant workshops that blend ancient tradition with modern choreography.

Led by Shyamla, immerse yourself in Parai Attam, a 3000-year-old Tamil artform where folk dance steps are set to the pulse of live Parai drum beats, bringing ancient rhythms and stories to life. Alternatively, dive into Hip Hop Fusion, and learn choreography to BARKAA’s victorious anthem WE UP, fusing Hip Hop and South Asian moves in a powerful show of solidarity with First Nations artists. 

Registrations essential.

WORKSHOP 1: MOVE YOUR FEET TO LIVE TAMIL BEATS WITH BINDI BOSSES 

Suitable for all ages

Dance to India’s oldest drum and experience the joy of Parai Attam, a 3000 year old Tamil artform featuring folk dance steps set to LIVE Parai drum beats. Join Shyamla, Smrithi, Sarangi and Shimran to learn how to express ancient rhythms, stories and concepts using your hands, feet, voice and body. Shyamla regularly travels to Chidambaram in Tamil Nadu to practise Parai Attam at its source.
