In keeping with its name, the company Beeja aims to generate new ideas, new understanding and fresh creative forms. Its work is based in Indian classical dance, bharatanatyam, and offers a range of options — performances, workshops, residencies and regular dance classes.
Beeja artists have performed in mainstream venues to critical acclaim. We regularly perform in non-conventional venues like museums, hospitals, schools, village halls and other public spaces. We aim to make bharatanatyam accessible to a wider audience and encourage interaction with the artists and the dance form.
Beeja offers workshops and residencies in 'Bollywood', Indian folk, creative movement and other Indian classical styles.
