What do you do as a Performing Artist and Artistic Director?
As a performing artist and artistic director, I focus on creating dynamic performances that blend traditional Indian dance forms like Kathak and Bollywood with modern contemporary storytelling. I choreograph and perform with the aim of promoting cultural education and bridging artistic traditions. In addition to my work with Devi Performing Arts, I collaborate with institutions such as the UB Dance Department, Buffalo State, and Niagara University, where I share my training and choreography with students. Through these partnerships, I bring my expertise in Indian classical dance to a broader audience, creating opportunities for cultural exchange and artistic growth. My role as artistic director involves guiding productions from concept to stage, while also developing workshops and performances that inspire and engage diverse communities.
