Without Walls | Roots to Rise
In her new dance theatre work, Roots to Rise, Nandita Shankardass brings together three women, each absorbed in the chaos of their own world
Blending folk and contemporary movement with Indian classical dance, this new work follows their journey back to the land, the soil, and the stories written in the stars.
Set to polyrhythmic musical scores and guided by embodied memory, they confront personal and collective histories, learning from one another and from those who came before. In this shared journey, they reconnect with the earth, ancestral wisdom, and to the futures emerging on the horizon, celebrating freedom, resistance and community.
Join dance artist and choreographer Nandita Shankardass for a free workshop inspired by the themes of Roots to Rise on Sat 17 May, 4pm. Click here to find out more about the workshop.
