Sheetal Gandhi is a multidisciplinary choreographer and performer. She creates work that is reflective of a life that embraces diversity, observes human experience and yearns to tell a story. Using a hybrid movement vocabulary influenced by Kathak, Modern and West African dance, as well as complex rhythmic structures, theatricality and singing, she crafts a virtuosic and evocative physical/vocal vocabulary. In form and content, the work reflects her love for Indian cultural tradition and disciplinary technique, with the equally urgent desire to break away from them.

"Who's Hungry - Santa Monica."
Sheetal performs and puppeteers for Dan Froot and Dan Hurlin's newest puppet theater play,
"Who's Hungry - Santa Monica" at Highways Performance Space.
The plays aim to raise awareness of the lives of those of us who, on a daily basis, must choose between life's basic necessities - food or rent, food or medicine, food or bus fare.
