Deepanwita Roy is an independent contemporary movement artist, working as a dancer, performer and creator. Her works are aimed to create impact on the environmental, social and personal level and focus on researching inward movements.
Trained as a movement artist and educated as a biotechnology engineer, she looks beyond her genres of training and education to test the limit of her creative potential. A risk taker and lover of nature, she often goes out of her comfort zone experimenting with her ideas, and connects her practice to address social and environmental issues. She believes movement is the way for humanity to bring about change in persons and society. She aspires to spur development in Indian movement practice and create a self-sustainable structure connecting art and nature.
CONFLICTED (working title)
Isolation and detachment of humans a species from the natural environment is highlighted in this work. We are so cut off from nature that we see cities with wifi, roads, buildings, electricity, vehicles – everything but nature to meet human requirements. We have no idea where our food or water comes from, who produces them and how, and how much we actually pay for it all.
CONFLICTED works with postures, images, emotional expressions, spatial relationships and time, through movements to investigate the human body's responses and reactions in the city and towards natural elements (nature).
