Amorphous: A Dance x Film Project devised by Ronita Mookerji & Priyanshi Vasani
Amorphous is a personal visual-journal of two Female Artists exploring the question of Identity and ‘Being’ through the language of Contemporary Dance and Visual Documentation. The self-research based experimental collaboration highlights female physical form in its raw state of pure feminine energy and as a body that hold history of generations of women in their family, thereby, exploring what is beyond this ‘Form’ in the present day context of Contemporary, globalised India.
