South Asian dancer and choreographer NINA RAJARANI, founder and artistic director of SRISHTI (Nina Rajarani Dance Creations) has just been awarded an MBE for services to dance. Winner of the Place Prize 2006, Nina's company is based in London and specialises in creating and presenting work that maintains the authenticity of Indian classical dance and music within contemporary contexts. Her work is sharply observed and is often a clever mix of virtuoso choreography and highly amusing social comment.
The company’s current production, My Stamping Ground, is a fresh take on a classic story…the tension and heartache of forbidden love. Whether it’s Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Broadway’s West Side Story or Bollywood’s Josh, the subject of forbidden love has caused thrill, heartbreak and drama throughout the ages. My Stamping Ground is the story of a steamy love affair amidst feuding gangs which explores fighting forces that seem impossible to conquer.
