Elixir, the second work from Sadhana Dance, sees choreographer and artistic director Subathra Subramaniam continuing to navigate the confluence of arts and science. Elixir dives deep into our cultural relationship with water in a world where its scarcity is already a global issue. Drawing from the rich vocabulary of Bharatanatyam, four dancers interweave ritualistic and playful movements to explore struggles and survival, immersion and instability.
Subramaniam has teamed up with award-winning sculptor Josh Baum and her long-term collaborators, the composers and visual artists Kathy Hinde and Matthew Olden. Together, they have created a powerful audio-visual experience which immerses the audience in the beauty and sound of water .
An installation featuring Josh Baum’s sculptures and audio relating to Elixir will run from 5pm - 8pm in the Founders’ Studio and there is a post-show Café Scientifique with Quentin Cooper, presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Material World, who will chair a discussion between the artists and scientists involved in the show and the audience.
