Daksha Sheth

Daksha Sheth has a reputation as one of India's most exciting and progressive dance artists. Trained in Kathak by Padma Bhushan Mrs Kumudini Lakhia, in Mayurbhanj Chhau by Guru Shri Krishnachandra Naik and in Kalaripayattu by Guru Govindankutty Nair, Daksha has turned to indigenous traditions including mallakhambh as a foundation for her choreographic expression and for evolving a training methodology for the dancers of her dance company, based in Trivandrum Kerala. Drawing on the wealth of these traditions, Daksha has developed a strongly physical and vibrant dance language and has created works which has placed her at the cutting edge of contemporary Indian dance. Daksha Sheth Dance Company has performed in more than 30 countries around the world. Daksha Sheth will be providing her insights and mentorship to the selected applicants of Abhivyakti Edition 3.

Sonal Bhargav

Dance is an art form which expresses through mind body and soul. It is a multi-dimensional art and interweaves other art forms viz music , theatre , literature sculpture ( interdisciplinary ). This time i see dance on the platform of abhivyakti as a multi-dimensional art. Classical dance forms have travelled a long way from temples to proscenium and moved out of the traditional frame work to reach to the global audiences. In the same way traditional dances have also weaved modern concepts and technology in its presentation. Holding the roots of any dance form I am looking forward to a blend of good form and technique ,some great literature (in matrubhasha and rashtra bhasha ) being inculcated, to weaving technology and modern ideas and ideology into traditions. In a nut shell good dancing with aesthetically strong concept. A strong connectivity between art, artist and audience. Abhivyakti is all about connectivity - connectivity to every citizen through the medium of art - Dance, Music, Drama & Installation.
