Once in a lifetime encounter for school students.

   


Happy New Year! 
We are truly delighted to begin the year with a tremendously exciting SchoolConnect opportunity.

Sasha Waltz one of the most sought after choreographers in the world today, will be in Calcutta to create a unique site specific performance piece as part of her international Dialoge projects.
The Dialoge projects have become her trademark “they demonstrate the boldness and pioneering spirit of a choreographer who has given dance new meaning and popularity.”
It is her first Dialoge piece in India created specifically in and with an architectural Calcutta location, so it will not be seen again anywhere else in the world. It is also her first collaboration with Padmini Chettur, one of the foremost contemporary choreographers in India.

Sasha Waltz has repeatedly conquered new spaces for dance – and repeatedly reinvented herself as a choreographer. From the start, her creations evolved in confrontation with other art forms and were mainly characterised by the influence of architecture and the visual arts.

Ranan is pleased to present an opportunity for school students to be part of this once in a life-time experience.
The SchoolConnect programme will be on two days – 10th & 11th January 2013
