As dancer and choreographer exploring socio-political narratives through movement. My work focuses on caste-based discrimination, drawing from my experiences as a Dalit body and a former street child. I examine how the body moves, resists, and reclaims space. Through movement research, ritual practice and spatial exploration, I transform marginalised histories into artistic resistance, redefining identity, reclaiming presence.
