Artist, researcher & writer • Independent

My work focuses on unpacking understandings of the human body-mind through a trifold practice of dance as art, science and ritual, and on proposals for change that these understandings hold for our contemporary world. Rooted primarily in the somatic practices of Haṭha-Vinyasa yoga and traditional Indic temple dancing, my research unfolds through critical, conceptual and artistic inquiries into premodern Indic cosmologies. In my works, these transdisciplinary inquiries come to dialogue with pressing personal and planetary problems, through performance, writing, video, installation and archiving as modes of publication.
