Sheetal Gandhi is a multidisciplinary choreographer and performer.  She creates work that is reflective of a life that embraces diversity, observes human experience and yearns to tell a story.  Using a hybrid movement vocabulary influenced by Kathak, Modern and West African dance, as well as complex rhythmic structures, theatricality and singing, she crafts a virtuosic and evocative physical/vocal vocabulary.  In form and content, the work reflects her love for Indian cultural tradition and disciplinary technique, with the equally urgent desire to break away from them.

 

 

 

“Sheetal Gandhi used Indian heel-stamps and turns, alongside western-style isolations and floorwork, to create an eloquent, inventive, virtuosic dance-theater piece that kept the opening-night audience transfixed.”
- Nancy G. Heller, The Philadelphia Inquirer
