Jaivant Patel Dance | YAATRA

Jaivant Patel Dance | YAATRA


British Indian artist, Jaivant Patel presents a captivating evening of solo Kathak and Contemporary dance.
 
Rooted in his own experience of being a homosexual man of dual heritage, Jaivant offers a fresh perspective on South Asian LGBTQ+ narratives, faith and spirituality. The evening celebrates two cultures and the intersectionality of living in one, while paying tribute to traditions, heritage and often untold stories of another.
 
This performance features a post-show discussion.
 
YAATRA is supported by Arts Council England with seed commissions from MAC Birmingham, Arena Theatre, Dance4, GemArts, Creative Black Country, Black Country Touring & SHOUT Festival.
