Choreographic Works:
In the summer of 2006, Three Aksha toured with the production titled "Flute to Conch" a life story of Krishna. This dance piece described Lord Krishna's character in entirety using both the classical dance form Bharatanatyam and folk dance forms of India. The music score also had the usage of rare folk instruments. The Bharatanatyam aspects of "Flute to Conch" were choreographed by the renowned Bharatanatyam dancer and choreographer, Professor C.V. Chandrashekar of India, while I myself choreographed the folk forms and was the principle dancer in the production. I was supported by eight highly talented and flamboyant dancers of Three Aksha. The lighting design for this performance was done by Ms. Sarah Higgins. The premier of this piece was presented at the Drexel's Mandel theatre. "Flute to Conch" later toured different parts of the U.S. namely Albany, NY and Lemont, IL..

In the spring of 2006, I produced and choreographed another production for Three Aksha, "ABHIKA", an enthralling journey of Music and Dance. We toured the United Kingdom with this production. Our first show was in Scotland followed by a show in London. The same piece was performed here in Philadelphia at the Montgomery Bharatiya temple auditorium in September. "ABHIKA" toured again in May 2007 to Halifax, Canada and also was performed at Delaware Hindu Temple.
In 2007 I choreographed "PRAYOG" a dialogue between dance and mathematics. This piece explored the relationship between mathematical and metaphysical elements of traditional South Indian dance through Bharatanatyam choreography and was premiered in Toronto, Canada with highly talented eight member ensemble and also toured the U.S. in 2007, Other than this I have various classical dance pieces that are choreographed for me and also for my dance company.
