Conversations that honour the past and move us forward
A series of interviews with South Asian artists and dance-makers reflecting on their performance work. With Threads of Change, we are seeking to build an archive of South Asian dance in the UK. We want to sit down with artists and converse on what they created, what provoked their inquiries and how they reached new audiences.
This series will be in collaboration with artist and researcher Venu Parijat as Associate Producer.

Our pilot episode was with four dancers of the production 'One Dha At A Time (2023)'. We spoke to each artist a year after its premiere and traced how they have developed, how their individual pieces have developed in that duration.
