ABOUT

Over fifteen years of training across Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Ballet, Jazz, and Hip Hop grounds my movement research and practice, which now lives within the fluidity of Indian Contemporary dance. I see this less as a genre and more as an intention: one that explores and challenges the conventions held inside utilitarian acts and mundane phenomena.

​

My work sits at the intersection of new materialism and feminist and postcolonial theory, held together by a sustained interest in movement studies. I am especially drawn to arts-based pedagogies and their potential to shape relational approaches to learning and living, particularly in the context of societal, political, and ecological inequity.

​

In 2023, I completed an MPhil in Education (Arts, Creativity and Education) at the University of Cambridge, securing a Distinction with Note and the Homerton College Master's Prize for my speculative study on (k)nots, now expanding into academic publication as well as a community building programme through the Naughty (K)nots workshops. I also hold the Young India Fellowship from Ashoka University.

​

This research trickles into my facilitation practice, where I design and lead studio courses and participatory workshops across universities and cultural institutions. Most recently these include Body as Poetry, a studio intensive at Srishti Manipal Institute of Art, Design and Technology in February 2026, and the ongoing Naughty (K)nots workshops, which have engaged over 150 participants in India and the UK.

​

I currently head programming at the Anant Foundation for the Arts, New Delhi, developing the Anant Curatorial Forum, residencies, publications, film screenings, and other public initiatives.​
