Samakshi Sidhu

Samakshi Sidhu (b. 1996 Delhi, India) is an artist working with dance and choreography. Based in Naarm (Melbourne), their practice is centred around the intelligence of the body in relation to ecological systems. Their current practice investigates the body as an archive and the social role dance can have, with a focus on community healing. Samakshi is interested in creating a hybrid interdisciplinary practice that is socio-politically informed and accessible. A few choreographers they have worked with are Yuko Harada from India, Lotem Regev from Israel and Brianna Kell, Daniel Riley and Gregory Lorenzutti from Naarm (Melbourne).
