Masterclass: Sacred Steps

This immersive masterclass offers a unique opportunity to explore the amalgamation of Kathak, contemporary dance, and the rich traditions of South Asian movement . Through Kesha's own dance methodology, participants will dive into the intricate world of rhythm and expression, of Kathak dance, whilst also embracing the fluidity and expressive qualities of contemporary dance. The class goes beyond technique, weaving in elements of Eastern philosophies such as mindfulness, balance, and the connection between body and spirit. The workshop will offer students to gain a deeper understanding of how movement transcends cultures, drawing from a blend of ancient traditions and modern sensibilities. The workshop intends for participants to expand their movement vocabulary but also develop their choreographic practise through a greater awareness of how universal movement narratives can come together to create a harmonious and transformative experience.
