RHYTHMOSAIC
Matter, energy, dynamism and quantity are the key essences of existence. Every phenomenon in this world happens in relation with another -- like falling leaves have a relation with the wind that blows, a teardrop is directly or indirectly related to the emotional turmoil that takes place within an individual.

'CHARADE' is a technology-influenced solo that has been animated, choreographed, and performed by Jonah Bokaer through the use of digital choreographic software. It takes the deconstruction of modernist portraiture as its inspiration, presenting a digital “maquette” which is mimicked by the performer.

PRAARAMBHA - hymn of creation
At first, there was but ONE. That ONE thing, breathless, breathed by its own nature, beyond that, there was nothingness.

CHHAYA - imageA submission to the inherently lyrical form of Odissi, this dance explores the various dimensions of its abstract vocabulary.
MUGDHA - lost in love

'Murali paani . . .' is an Oriya poem interpreted through facial expressions (bhava) and gestures (mudra):

VIBHAKTA - the division
In the union and the separation of the male and female principle lies the secret of all creation. Each acknowledges and celebrates the existence of the other.

AARATI
A salutation to the presiding deities of Odissi dance, the goddess Vimala and Lord Jagannath.
'From you comes all life; and into you we must all return'.

Dancers: Bijayini Satpathy, Pavithra Reddy, Rasmi Raj, Manasi Tripathy.
