01 May Shedding Skin

A collaboration between dancer Vrinda Sheth and filmmaker Rasa Acharya, this short dance film explores the dancer’s reaction to her imagined/real critics. The film questions a performer’s public versus private persona, as well as conventions of costume and dress. It features original choreography in the South Asian dance style Bharata Natyam set to the upbeat yet poignant hip-hop song ‘Shedding Skin’ by M.C. Yogi. Expressed through a dancer’s medium, the film reaches into the heart of every artist – every personal endeavor – and finds resolution, if only for a moment.
