Repertory
Sinha Danse has several works in its repertoire. Each offers a different point of view, for each stems from a different intent. At times, Roger tells a story expressed through movement, spoken words and images of concrete references. In other works, he lets the beauty of movement speak for itself.
His work merges classical Indian dance and contemporary dance, martial arts, new technologies, digital performance, video and Bharata Natyam, a dance from south India.
