In early December 2025, Sinha Danse undertook a creation residency in Rajasthan, India, as part of the project CONTINUUM — From One Generation to the Next. This working period brought together choreographer Roger Sinha and the young choreographer and Sinha Danse associate artist Pritesh Mehta, at the centre of a shared creative process.
For Sinha Danse’s founder, this residency represented the realization of a long-standing artistic dream. Working in India with dancers who grew up within the country’s cultural context—and encountering their embodied knowledge, sensibilities, and approaches to movement—was a deeply meaningful experience for Roger Sinha, who described the process as both inspiring and energizing.
The residency took place at the Vinyasa Earth Center, a space dedicated to artistic research and cultural exchange, where Canadian and Indian artists worked together for four weeks. Within a setting that was both simple and immersive, the daily work was structured around two parallel creation processes led by Roger Sinha and Pritesh Mehta, with artistic support provided by performer Emmanuelle Martin.
This working structure made it possible to explore distinct choreographic approaches while opening a space for dialogue between generations, backgrounds, and cultural contexts. The residency emphasized the transmission of movement languages and what emerges when practices meet, engage, and transform—without losing their autonomy.
This stage in India established essential foundations for the next phase of CONTINUUM, affirming an approach grounded in collective work, continuity of choreographic gesture, and a close relationship between creation, interpretation, and transmission.
