About this Event
3 Hour Masterclass with Subhash Viman Gorania
This energising masterclass begins with a grounding yoga flow and movement exercises, opening the body and exploring pathways inspired by contemporary dance and Kathak. Participants will then learn a dynamic phrase from PAVAN, a production inspired by the Gujarati Maher warriors. The session concludes with fun and engaging stick movement exercises drawn from the South Indian martial art of Silambam, developing rhythm, coordination, and flow.

Subhash Viman Gorania
Subhash is a postmodern South Asian choreographer and dancer whose work blends Indian classical, urban, and contemporary styles with provocative humour and a distinctive, playful edge. His movement language is rooted in dynamic physicality, floorwork, swift spins, expressive gesture, and strong theatrical presence.
Trained in Bharatanatyam with Chitraleka Bolar and Chaaya Kanavate, and Kathak with Nilima Devi MBE and Asha Joglekar, Subhash has also recently incorporated Silambam, a South Indian martial art of stick movement, into his practice, expanding his vocabulary through rhythm, precision, and agility.
His performance credits include The Troth – Usne Kaha Tha (Akademi / Gary Clarke), winner of the Herald Angel Award, Ecstasy for the German tour of Get on the Good Foot, and God’s Little Soldier at Theater Freiburg. He is currently touring Little Murmur internationally with Aakash Odedra Company, having performed over 150 shows worldwide.
