Navdhara India Dance Company presents: "Amaara - A Journey of Love"
“I hear you, smell you, see you, touch you, taste you in every breath… you are my lover and I am yours.” Indian choreographer Ashley Lobo’s Amaara takes you into a world of experiencing the body and mind as they fuse their way to nothingness - a love story that just is and always was. In this work, the dancers, using his Prana Paint™ technique (a unique sensitizing approach developed by Lobo that explores movement through connectivity, yoga, breath, and touch), journey through themselves to explore their own identity and oneness – leaving the viewer with an experience that is felt rather than seen.
Navdhara India Dance Theatre (NIDT) - is a contemporary dance company based out of Mumbai, India, founded by Indian-Australian choreographer Ashley Lobo. NIDT comes from a deep belief that movement already exists in the universe and that all that is needed is the word allow or flow, rather than be boxed-in by the limitations of the word ‘create’. Combining the physical methodologies of contemporary dance and the spiritual philosophies of India and Indian dance, including principles of the ancient Indian gurukul system, NIDT seeks to allow newer methodologies and works of dance theatre to come through. The movement style used is neither eastern nor western, but completely universal. The only allegiance is to the truth of breath and ‘prana’or life energy. The focus is simplicity and communication through a universal language, so all boundaries dissolve, and Navdhara or ‘new flow’ is achieved.
