Public space is where the everyday and narration comes together, where “stories” evolve. Through experiments that involve memory, imagination and embodied movement I try to initiate verbal and non verbal dialogues in public space, exploring the possibilities of public space creating common narratives which are projections of the personal stories of people and space.

This project explores the possibilities of unfolding new narratives through performative interventions in public space using the vocabulary of Bharatanatyam.

Developing a relationship between people and space through “stories” as representation of memories, thoughts and images explores Bharatanatyam as an ’embodied rhetoric’ of body, mind and emotions. I strongly believe that Indian classical dance creates “sense experiences” through collective embodied memories and hence should not be representational.
