Not Today's Yesterday

Five Minutes with: Seeta Patel

Dance, Festival Hot Seat, Dance, Interviews

Not Today’s Yesterday is an international collaboration between UK award-winning Bharatanatyam artist Seeta Patel and Australian choreographer Lina Limosani. This work blends classical Indian dance (Bharatanatyam) and contemporary dance in a striking, intelligent and engaging evisceration of ‘pretty’ and ‘suitable’ historical stories. It is a one-woman show which subversively co-opts whitewashing against itself. We have a quick chat with Seeta Patel to find out more about the show...
