SARI A production by the 'Daksha Sheth Dance Company', 'Asima' and 'The Sari School'. A contemporary presentation of the unstitched garment through performing arts.  SARI, initiated by Rta Kapur Chisti, co-author and editor of 'Saris – Tradition and Beyond', is directed by Composer, Devissaro and choreographed by Daksha Sheth.
The purpose of this performance is to rekindle the lost playfulness and individuality of the sari. As the 'SARI' unfolds, it makes the viewer aware of the abundant and intricate processes in the journey between a cotton seed and a hand-woven garment.
India's
tradition of handwoven textiles, with its As
the quintessential expression of the weavers' imagination, talent
and skill,
Through
the art of draping, a woman reveals her demeanour and her regional
identity. The performance highlights the stages in the journey from cotton pod to a
magnificant fabric, draped in a range of wearing styles. 'SARI'
is a celebration of the creation of this unique drape, in constant
play with the body, both in stillness and in movement.
To spread the grace and colour of this incomparable icon of the Indian aesthetic, Daksha Sheth Dance Company, asima and the Sari School plan to perform SARI in suitable venues in India with the help of sponsors and event organizers.
