AboutCreated with Raphaël 2.2.0ProjectsCreated with Raphaël 2.2.0


RAGHAV HANDA SHINES BOTH AS CHOREOGRAPHER AND PERFORMER

– Aussie Theatre

I am an Australian choreographer & performer of Indian heritage with training in
modern & Indigenous contemporary dance. I am inspired by my birthright – my
works combine traditional Kathak principles & contemporary movement with speed &
precision to create multifaceted, engaging explorations of modern Australian
cultural identity.

My works are highly physical and theatrical, incorporating stylistically diverse
languages, an array of artistic media (from film and spoken word to 3D motion
capture technology and sculptural set design) and, occasionally, some humour to
help deliver my message. Over the last 8 years my works – TUKRE’ (“Pieces” in
Hindi 2014-15), MENS REA (2016) and FOLLY & TIME (2018-19), DAWN (2020 Sydney
Opera house digital) – have been performed in festivals and theatres across
Australia and overseas.

Through my work, I want to introduce Indian audiences to contemporary dance and
Australian audiences to India’s cultural diversity. This strategy has been
recognised by the Indian community (through support from Indian Link
publications), SBS and ABC radio and I was invited to perform an excerpt of
Tukre’ at the Australia-India Institute to highlight the trade connections
between our countries.

In my practice, I challenge cultural norms by navigating the “preciousness” and
complexities that surround traditional hierarchies and principles.
Notwithstanding these influences, my Indian heritage is at the core of my work –
often in the themes I explore (as in TUKRE’ and MENS REA) and always through my
movement language. In my process, I draw on Kathak’s principles and movement
patterns – including dynamic shift and complex rhythm cycles – to create a
unique movement language which is intricate, precise, extremely physical and
unique in the Australian dance landscape.

As a performer, I have collaborated with many of Australia’s leading
choreographers including Marilyn Miller, Vicki van Hout, Sue Healey, Danielle
Micich and Martin del Amo. In 2015-16, I was part of Healey’s award-winning ON
VIEW, 2018 Sydney Festival’s premiere of Force Majeure’s YOU ANIMAL YOU, and in
2020 appeared in the Sydney Festival premiere of DOUBLE DELICIOUS, an immersive
theatre work by the Contemporary Asian Australian Performance and Asia TOPA
festival in Melbourne.

Critics have described my work as innovative, robust, complex and hypnotic and
his reviews have featured in Sydney Morning Herald, Real Time, Indian Link,
Aussie Theatre review and DANCE Australia Magazine.
