When we start a project, we spend our first sessions digging into the concept—the mask you are wearing, the emotion you are hiding, or the specific story you want to share. We experiment, we fail, we refine, and eventually, we build a performance that feels entirely authentic to you. My approach to choreography is built on a blend of my training at Attakalari and my experiences with Akram Khan. It is a mix of contemporary dance, ballet basics, and physical theatre. When you look at projects like 'Archetype' or 'Lost and Found', you will see that they are not just movements. They are explorations. In 'Archetype', I worked with dancers to examine the masks we wear in different relationships—how we act with friends versus family. 'Lost and Found' is an experimental, ongoing project where we use physical theatre to explore the act of finding oneself. Whether you need choreography for a competition, a stage production, or a personal film project, I treat it as a collaborative process. We start by establishing a strong foundation of floor work and flow, then move into building the narrative. I provide the technical breakdown and structural guidance, but the expression comes from you. We focus on being real, not being perfect. If you are ready to stop just dancing and start speaking through movement, let us work on it together. ## About Suraj I am Suraj. For me, dance is a conversation, not just a performance. I pull from my training in Bangalore, London, and Spain to help you find your own movement style, whether you are stepping on stage for the first time or creating a complex routine.
