Siddhi Creative presents Two Folds - A Siddhi Creative Double Feature
SEE EVENT DETAILS
September 20 & 21, 7 pm and September 22, 3 pm
Siddhi Creative, a Bay Area-based organization dedicated to advancing Indian dance through collaboration, innovation, and community building, is proud to present Two Folds - A Siddhi Creative Double Feature.
Two Folds features the world premiere of The Maze and Finding Joy, choreographed by Siddhi Creative's Artistic Director Surabhi Bharadwaj.
The Maze is a devised work that uses movement, text, poetry, music, theater, and technology to challenge conventional notions of beauty, femininity, motherhood, and womanhood. Drawing inspiration from Ms. Bharadwaj's lived experiences and the stories of women around her who are navigating patriarchal structures, the piece aims to explore the broader societal consequences through the personal.
A work-in-progress showing of The Maze was performed at a Studio 210 Residency Showcase (curated by Deborah Slater Dance Theater) in 2022. The piece was honored by the Isadora Duncan Dance Awards in 2024 for Outstanding Achievement in Music/Sound/Text.
Finding Joy is an ensemble exploration that celebrates the beauty of the ordinary while challenging hierarchical structures in the creative process. Through themes of nostalgia, love, community, and art that bring joy amid constant pressure in a competitive world, performance becomes a mirror through which the audience can see their own lives unfolding. By delving into elements of day-to-day life, the performance aims to create a meaningful connection between the art, artist, and audience, honoring the richness of shared human experiences.
$23-$47.
