TILT @ NSD Theatre Festival

Tilt has been conceived as an ensemble work performed by four dancers and three musicians. While using the dance form of Bharatanatyam as a base, it attempts to discover a fresh dynamic and create a new perspective in the way it is performed and viewed. The piece derives its broad structure from the Tillana, the final piece in a Bharatanatyam repertoire, and is performed in a circle. The audience members sit up close, and depending on their position, develop a fundamentally personal relationship with the dance as it unfolds. The proximity between the audience and the dance is an important element of the work and aims at replacing the predominantly visual experience of dance with a more palpable engagement based on its kinetic quality.
