EMBODIED , Babina Chabungbam and Surjit Nongmeikapam. (Performance supported by Narthaki Global Media).

Embodied is an exploratory dialogue between a contemporary dancer (Director) and a classical dancer (performer). They collectively delve into the history and techniques of Manipuri dance, a form that both of them embody. Manipuri dance is imbued with religio-cultural sense and sensibilities that are often conflicting at times. Through the medium of lecture-performance, the piece sheds these layers of Manipuri dance to find answers to what the dance form embodies or what the dancer embodies. Does the core of Manipuri dance lie in the content of the dances or in the traditional restraint and subdued eloquence?
