Meet the Choreographers

Rhythmosaic Dance Company situated in both India and the UK is the brainchild of dancer-choreographer Dr. Mitul Sengupta and Researcher-choreographer Shambik Ghose (PhD). The company brings a multicultural and dynamic perspective to the artistic sphere that is born out of differences in experiences and diverse creative cultures.  Rhythmosaic exemplifies delicate fusion/hybridisation between traditional classical Indian dance with contemporary movement and artistic aesthetics around the world in an attempt to be presented in high-quality settings that have relevance to multicultural audiences around the globe. The company's artistic vision and choreographic research practice draw on Mitul and Shambik's cultural background blended with contemporary dance and subject matters that speak vividly to diverse contemporary audiences.

The difference that Rhythmosaic's work brings is projecting tradition and contemporariness through the lens where both concepts are in constant dialogue. The artistic identity that evolves through the process has a distinctive character that imbricates the philosophies of the past (that is what is known) and the present (what is happening).

The artistic outcome that emerges as a choreographic product delineates how traditional and contemporary cultural aesthetics collapse into each other to represent an artistic language with its aesthetics rooted in traditional memories but not consumed by them.

 However, it accommodates disparate cultural sensibilities to propound the expanded possibilities that intercultural collaborations bring to the artistic body and its imaginations through innovation, inclusivity, and uniqueness.

 Although Rhythmosaic's creative work evolves out of hybridising specific dance traditions such as Kathak, Contemporary and Jazz dance techniques, its choreographic representation is rarely exhibited through symbolical or gestural codifications germane to those specific movements' culture. The artistic emergence in the studio evolves through the exploration of the embodied physical wisdom rooted in various movement traditions that the artist brings with them in the practice. Through the articulations of those movement traditions embedded in immersive and exploratory pedagogic research developed by Rhythmosaic, the artists define their creative voices through an original contemporary movement expression that renounces cultural labelling but celebrates its identity that is born out of cultural difference.
