The power of discovering your own light ✨

Anjana Bala, a dancer based at the Rose Choreographic School at Sadler's Wells East, explores our complex relationship with being seen and social worth in her dance film Optics. Watch for free!

Optics by Anjana Bala | Dance Film

This poignant screendance film is a contemporary South Asian dance work that draws upon Indian classical rhythms, shapes, and geometries. The piece uses optics as a metaphor for visibility, exploring how we pursue it and the emotional consequences it entails. Created by dance artist and anthropologist Anjana Bala alongside talented collaborators, this meaningful dance performance is set against shifting landscapes of light and the edges of visibility. It explores our complex relationship with being seen and social worth – oscillating between competing for it and resisting it, between perfection and imperfection, between embracing dreams of recognition and discovering one’s own light.
