Hiral Balsara, a professional artist from Surat, is currently the founder of Nepathya Nritya Sadhana Academy of Dance. She started her classical dance journey at the age of 8. With a Masters of Performing Arts in Bharatanatyam under Shri Chintan Patel, Hiral has also practised dance drama & production for more than 10 years. Today, she stands as a refined professional in the industry. In this edition of Abhivyakti City Arts Project, Hiral’s production uses aerial dance form with Bharatnatyam to narrate the concept titled ‘The Untold’. The concept revolves around prostitution and how a prostitute goes on to become a mother. One of the stories in the performance is based on one of Saumya Joshi’s poems - Munira, from his book ‘Green Room Ma.’ The story then talks about the prostitute who becomes a mother and how she deals with society. It also portrays the child’s journey and how they deal with society while growing up.
