TWV in conversations with Navala ‘Niku’ Chaudhari & Nathaniel Parchment

As part of out unique online training Towards Vivencia, once a month we invite dance-artists we admire to talk to Jorge Crecis about Peak Performance Presence, how to sustain a long and successful career in the arts and what are the books and other resources our guests feed from.

In this third episode Jorge had a conversation about contemporary dance in India and the third edition of The Goa Dance Residency, a not-for-profit choreographic research and dance education program. In this episode we have founder Nathaniel Parchment and current director Navala ‘Niku’ Chaudhari talking about: 

• From world class dancers to founders and curators of Jungle Contemporary Dance
• The answer from whenever you need to justify why dance should be available to everyone
• Hunger, excitement, commitment and determination
• How to fight the disillusionment that often arrives in our dance careers
• The power of training presence
• How to avoid feeling disspointed for not achieving all our daily chores

Resources they mentioned

• The wisdom of the body moving by Linda Hartley
• Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement (ATM) Lessons: http://openatm.org/
