The mission of Mita Ghosal Dance Theatre, fiscally sponsored by Kelly Strayhorn Theater, is to create a body of dance theatre work that is rooted in the practice of storytelling specifically focused on stories that have been marginalized, erased, and untold. Illuminated by a constant interweaving of literal narrative and figurative imagery, the work utilizes dramatic text, character exploration, linear and non-linear storylines, visual arts, video and movement vocabulary that is largely informed by Modern and Contemporary Dance and Modern Postural Yoga as developed by Krishnamacharya. Constructed through choreographer and writer Mita Ghosal’s artistic vision, Mita Ghosal Dance Theatre is a company dedicated to uplifting and amplifying the voices of the silenced and weaving them into our larger cultural narratives.
