Finding my Dha

ODC Theater SF, Sept 19-21, 2025

Finding My ‘Dha’ traces the convergence of two themes: a deep inquiry into and deconstruction of ‘Dha’ and personal narratives of liminality. Interweaving kathak and contemporary dance, theatrical elements and spoken word, the work explores foreignness and belonging, and embodied languages passed down through multiple cultures and generations. 

This work is supported by Kenneth Rainin Foundation Grant.
