Mythili Prakash Bharatanatyam
Arushi Mudgal Odissi
Monisa Nayak Kathak

We’re delighted to present the UK premier of a brand new International Dance Commission produced by Milapfest. The work explores the ‘idea of India’ and how a country with such diversity, spirituality and emotion may be expressed through dance.

India is a land of contrasts, rich diversity and incredible cultural history, with countless personal perspectives of its people and visitors. In a fascinating evening of discovery through dance, three of India’s most brilliant artists present their views on India through original choreography commissioned especially by Milapfest.

What is your idea of India?  What do you feel when you think ‘India’ and how can this be represented through your art? What is quintessentially Indian about your art, your process, your practice, your performance?  Three stars of three iconic dance forms – Mythili Prakash (Bharatanatyam), Arushi Mudgal (Odissi) and Monisa Nayak (Kathak) share their answers with us.

Mythili, Arushi and Monisa are are all widely recognised as leaders in the next generation of brilliant artistic talent, and are each known for their contemporary and dynamic approach to choreography and presentation. The unique combination of these three artists, performing together for the very first time, brings fresh and fascinating perspective on a country rich in tradition, culture and the arts.

Swadesh is funded by Arts Council England and curated by Milapfest.
