SINGAPORE –Chowk Productions, a dance company rooted in odissi, will blend the Indian classical form with clowning in its first collaboration with a guest director.
Limbo: Few Last Words, which explores different states of being in between, is on at the Drama Centre Black Box from Sept 28 to 30. Maitra, who met Angelelli a decade ago when the director would sit in for Chowk’s rehearsals at its former Emily Hill studio, says: “I don’t think of teaching odissi to make odissi dancers. I want my dancers to have odissi as a tool to do whatever they want to do.”
Maitra explains the reason for this collaboration. Although the emotional state of hasya exists in the Natya Shastra, a Sanskrit treatise on the performing arts, she always felt that hasya had not been adequately explored in dance.
