Walking around in a helmet
A durational performance
To be able to go out , away from the proscenium, conversing about the everyday-ness of kathak, facing the God , while performing the movements, drinking tea, walking , buying vegetables to cook at home, like any 'mundane' gestures a classical dancer does, weaving her personal mythologies together in the city of Pune , where helmet rule is overruled , like many desires of classical dancers.

We explore the everyday-ness in 'morning', our micro-narratives,in the socio-cultural context of Oslo and Pune.Together, we attempt to find an in-between space for our binaries such as beauty, musicality, narratives, storytelling, performance, time and space.
