By making a donation to Sinha Danse, you are supporting the mission of a contemporary dance company offering a wide range of eclectic projects. Rooted in cultural diversity and more than 30 years after its creation, Sinha Danse continues to help discover dance beyond borders and boundaries.
Roger Sinha’s dynamic choreographies are inspired by his Indian cultural heritage and are recognized in Canada and internationally for their technical and artistic excellence. All passionate about the universal language of dance, our team is committed to providing a space for sharing and creation in between all of our collaborators as well as a unique experience for our audiences, through different pieces.
A Creation Bridging Canada and India
Sinha Danse opens a new chapter today — a journey back to the roots of its founder, Roger Sinha, through a profoundly human artistic journey in the heart of Rajasthan, India.
After 35 years of creation, I finally have the opportunity to return to the source — to create in India, with Indian dancers, in the very place where my choreographic imagination first took root. For me, it’s a way to come full circle — to share what I have built here in Canada with those who dance there.
This creative residency marks a pivotal moment for the company — a project that unites cultures, bodies, music, and movement in a vibrant dialogue between East and West, between tradition and modernity, between memory and the future.
The Project: A Creative Residency in Jaipur
For four weeks, a team of Canadian and Indian artists will live, work and create together in a space designed by Sankalp Sharma (Vinyasa Earth Centre), where the studio, stage and daily life become one.
Two Choreographers, One Ensemble, Two Visions
What sets this project apart is its bold approach: two choreographers from different countries brought together to create with the same group of performers.
–Pritesh Mehta, an Indian choreographer, draws inspiration from breakdance and acrobatic movement to explore the theme of social masks — the faces we wear to exist in the world.
–Roger Sinha, an Indo-Canadian choreographer, fuses contemporary dance with influences from Bharatanatyam, India’s classical dance form, to create a universal choreographic language — one where the body becomes a bridge between cultures.
This encounter promises a physical, poetic, and intercultural work — a mirror of a world in transformation.
