About: Please tell us about your self. Some of our programs have benefits for art workers - please tell us if you are an artist and mention the most recent work/venue/space/residency where you have worked/developed your practice.: Sinha Danse stems from a deep felt need of its founder, Roger Sinha, to reclaim his Indian heritage and to use this tradition to shape a modern expression of his reality. His work uses the universality of the body to explore cultural harmony and dissonance, and tensions created by the collision of East and West.

Sinha Danse's vocabulary merges the classical Indian dance with contemporary dance, martial arts, theatre and Bharata Natyam, a dance from southern India. Stories are important in Sinha's work, stories from poets and writers and stories of his own. He explores story telling in many ways, as spoken word or with interactive technology driven language and this, always with humour and simplicity.

Sinha Danse's mission is to continually break boundaries and explore new creative directions. By incorporating new media such as film, interactive technologies and sound, Sinha Danse wishes to produces interdisciplinary pieces where highly energetic dances are involved
