Erasing Borders: Festival of Indian Dance, August 18-21 2008
  
PERFORMERS   
  Dakshina / Daniel Phoenix Singh and Company (Washington, D.C.)
  Dakshina means "offering" in Sanskrit and in keeping with this spirit, Dakshina offers artists and communities the unique opportunity to experience dance as a movement that links the arts, cultures, and social causes. Founded in 2003, Dakshina/Daniel Phoenix Singh Dance Company is one of the leading dance companies in Washington, DC. In recent years, Dakshina has examined the connections between Indian, social, and modern dance forms; brought dance out of the auditorium and into schools and community centers; and pushed the boundaries of the form through the use of film, interviews, popular music, and theater. The vision of Dakshina/Daniel Phoenix Singh Dance Company is to explore and present dance in its complexity and multiplicity, celebrating tradition while constantly creating new vocabularies in movement and dance, evolving to newer and higher standards. The company connects traditions with trend-setting work and pushes participants to approach dance in a thought provoking manner. Website: www.dakshina.org
