My Stamping Ground 
This work is a fresh take on a classic story. Be it Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Broadway’s West Side Story or Bollywood's Josh, the tension of forbidden love has always caused thrill and heartbreak throughout the ages. This is the story of a torrid love affair amidst feuding gangs. A beautiful blend of Classical music and Rap go hand in had with Bharatnatyam and Contemporary movements

Spring Tour – 11 shows

Play Ball – Bend it, Chemistry, Quick
This work  is a triple bill of short Bharatanatyam dance pieces. This work with live music shows off ‘what the lads do’ when at play, when in love and when at work.

Spring Tour – 20 shows

Bend it… is on football. Let’s play ball! The use of complex footwork that Bharatanatyam and football share makes the piece interesting. The dancers tackle, they shoot, fake injury like all the greats and a goal is scored.

Quick! ! is the winning piece of the Place Prize 2006, Europe’s largest choreographic competition.. This piece showcases an energised display of 8 London businessmen depicting the  cut-throat

2008

Bend It - Aerial
A mind-blowing collision between football and Bharatanatyam brings "the beautiful game" out of the theatre to its natural habitat, the outdoors. This work incorporates aerial work in bungees, directed by Upswing. Bend it.Aerial promises a match like no other. Players fight it out for Premiership glory, with intricate footwork, slow motion replays and that heart stopping ultimate goal.

Summer out door event – 6 shows

Quiet Please

The work weaves a romantic love triangle set in India around the hurly burly of the manic London business world that is driven by aggression and competition.

Kadala…Is it love?  This work, portrays a woman in love who is in constant dialogue with her mind, talking to her absent lover.

Checkers – a Human Chess Board, This piece is an intense display of insincerity, deception and suspicion that’s a part of the human mind - have you ever pretended you are someone or something you are not, for personal gain?  Mirage – an optical illusion.

Women are from Venus – Shukra
Shukra is an abstract work that celebrates the planet Venus within the Hindu aesthetic. In Hinduism, this planet is personified as a male force, the guru of the anti-gods according to Hindu Mythology.
