As young artistes building their careers, Bengaluru-based Surendra Tekale and Chetan Yeragera found that uncertainty and doubt are part of the creative experience. After several discussions about it, when words failed, they used art to express themselves
They embraced these feelings as a means of working through them and at the tail of this engagement, Lost in Oscillation, a contemporary dance piece, was born. The next performance will be held this Saturday at Harkat Studios in Versova
The piece is conceptualised and directed by Tekale, and co-created and performed by Yeragera, with a small team of contemporary theatre and movement artistes including Gloria Bee, Kalyani Sarada, Dayanand Akhilesh, Kshitij Jahagirdar, Bharath Yadav and Jananei S
“Lost in Oscillation enters the character’s mind to portray self-doubt through movement,” notes Tekale. With a background in theatre and dance, Tekale combined the two mediums to create a performance of raw expression. Taking on the physical reflection of as well as response to self-doubt, the dancer moves in ‘sharp angles, fragmented gestures, and sudden transitions that oscillate between vulnerability and defiance’
