Surjit Nongmeikapam (Bonbon) is a Manipur-based (Imphal, to be more specific) choreographer and performing artist. He is the Artistic Director of Nachom Arts Foundation. Surjit received training in traditional Indian forms/movements before developing an interest in interdisciplinary arts and experimental works. He pursued B.A. Choreography from Natya Institute of Kathak and Choreography. He is one of the few dancers and choreographers in Manipur to engage with contemporary dance forms and seek to promote their development beyond the traditional Manipuri culture. He is also an award-winning (PECDA) choreographer for his pieces ‘Nerves’ (2014) and ‘Folktale’ (2016). He has also been awarded the AMI Arts Festival Youth Award for Performing Art (2021). 

Surjit always tries to extract from his own dream and create from his imagination. He wants his work to express his different expressions as a healing process. He tries to keep his artwork alive without any fixed notation or choreography. His notation is not to be attached to one thought. Surjit Nongmeikapam creates art forms, which can be created from the unseen culture of his Manipuri roots. 

He has worked with eminent personalities like Choy Ka Fai, Preethi Athreya, Isak Immanuel, Takao Kawaguchi and several filmmakers.
