Raghav Handa – Creating Worlds/Contemporary Movement

When

Every day, 9am to 1pm Monday 2 September 2024 to Friday 6 September 2024

Trained in contemporary dance, Raghav Handa draws on the principles of Indian kathak to create multifaceted, engaging explorations of modern Australian identity.

His works challenge cultural and contemporary norms by navigating the “preciousness” & complexities that surround traditional hierarchies and by utilising his heritage to create spaces that foster robust discussion & risk taking – he encourages his audience to come to their own conclusions rather than imposing his own. His creations are novel, engaging and often playful – but he also likes to play with fire!

Raghav will lead a five-day workshop to introduce the participants to his working process and techniques he utilises to create worlds rich with symbolism, surrealist imagery, and sound. 

His highly dynamic choreographic style is inspired by his training and the rhythmic patterns of classical Indian kathak dance. Participants will move through Tihai (phrase repeated three times over) often used as a way to end a rhythm cycle in Kathak mathematics. 

Raghav will begin the day with vocal and physical warm up and teach repertoire from his recent works to provide context and deeper understanding of his approach.
