Ascent

Ascent ASCENT is a new work in the making lead by a Inter-generational team of Independent artists. Isha Sharvani

It combines Indian dance/ aerials with contemporary dance, physical theatre and new circus aerials, accompanied by original live music and percussion. Storytelling and metaphor is at the heart of my choreographic practice and with this work I seek to connect in a powerful and meaningful way with audiences. I am exploring new narrative pathways that bring people into this otherworldly place and tim

e. This journey opens itself to the imagination in its inventive engagement with aerial arts, as I transcend the limitations of my body, so I then actually ‘fly’. In facing our mortality we embrace life, in experiencing our sacred connection to another, we acknowledge our capacity to love.

We take the form of the ascent of an imagined spirit rising out of the material world. We tap into the courage it takes to let go of all things, and be weightless enough to fly, and in this is a process of dissolving and transformation. As we look towards new futures and ways of being in our tumultuous world, this work represents a vision of transcendence and becoming.
