Chai with Rai is excited to host a special dance workshop and sit down Q&A with Ishita Mili who is the director of IMGE Dance, a genre-blurring dance company unraveling Indian and American classical to street vocabularies. Ishita’s classes deconstruct IMGE Methodology, a holistic approach to using elements of hip hop, Mayurbhanj chhau, house, and bharatanatyam for global storytelling. Workshops are tailored to provide an introduction to using dynamic imagery, rhythm, and foundation to introspect and connect to a narrative.
The IMGE Methodology has been taught at numerous university and cities across the US and India, most recently Princeton and Gonzaga University. Class is open to all levels and styles.
This is a special insight into Ishita's world of movement and methodology. Alongside the 2-hour intensive workshop, there will be a 60 mins sit down conversation with Ishit in which we will dive into her as an artist, how she creates, decolonising classical dance, personal dance journey, personal branding and digitised marketing. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in a Q&A and ask for mentoring/ coaching advice.
And YES! There will be Chai for the Q&A Segment after the workshop.
A bitta Dance and a bitta Chai as promised for a cute Sunday.
