About Vivartana: Group Performances

When I choreograph for a group, it is not just about keeping the steps identical. It is about creating a dynamic space on stage where the dancers breathe together. For our 'SHE' production, we focused heavily on stage geometry and formations that look just as compelling from the back row as they do from the front.

I am Sushmitha Suresh, and at Vivartana, we believe dance is a conversation between the body and the soul. While I love my solo recitals, directing my group of dancers is where I find a different kind of joy, watching our synchronization bring choreography to life.
