Baharan - Spring (Sharing)

Role: Lighting Designer
Company: Pagrav Dance Company

Information about the production:
Pagrav, meaning sound of feet, was founded by its artistic director Urja Thakore. The company aims to promote Kathak in its purest form through evolution of choreographic techniques in performances.

This piece explores the different emotions felt by humanity during its wait for spring.  The piece is divided up into three parts; longing for spring, arrival of spring and the celebration of spring.

The stage is set with the narrator who represents humanity, in distress and overwhelmed by the monotonous, unsympathetic and vindictiveness of winter...
