Sheetal Nareen Gandhi

Just discovered the work of this amazing Indian American dancer and choreographer who has an Eastern Western fusion style similar to what I do, hers being West African and Kathak Indian, hip hop fusion mixed with theatricals as well. Sometimes I really feel the magical part of the interweb when I get the certain urge and peaks of interest to click around certain websites and emails that I normally would have deleted.

Just the other day I was so excited to come across a Cirque du Soleil show called 'Dralion' which features a water goddess main character that looked very Indian Kathak inspired. A few days later I'm browsing through sites and come across Sheetal's work, finding out it was her.



Big fan of her performance art pieces and choreography on being Indian in America. I keep talking about it, but I need to start working on my Muslim American pieces!
