Description

'Why do I speak English??' I have been asked this in an accusatory manner. I've been offended by it... I've wondered... 'What's all the fuss about? Isn't it just a language?' Recently, I decided to become a full-time actor in my country – India. Suddenly, it was difficult to find work, as I mainly spoke English in a so-called "non-English speaking nation". Thus, started my journey to find answers. Using a perfect blend of contemporary dance and the spoken word, I tell my personal story through my unique physical language. Come and watch a glimpse of my life!
