How do we get where we are going? and how do we tell others how to find us?
Guardians of Direction is the working title for a new dance performance by Reading's own Drishti Dance presented as a work in progress showing as part of Dance Reading 2019.
Drawing on classical hindu mythology around particular deities associated with the cardinal directions found on a compass, this contemporary performance breaks down the conventions of classical Kathak and aims to find a new language within which present day parables can be told.
This event is the culmination of a research & development project in collaboration with a dramaturg, producer and visual artist to explore new ways for Drishti to create performance. The 30 minute performance will be followed by a Q&A about the process and results.
