"Choreography is a function of the imagination. I have something to say. How will I convey my idea to others? In exploring the answers to this fundamental question, in translating an idea into form, when something new emerges- this is choreography. It is the art of making a unique personal statement through movement. And it is an ongoing process.....
Choreography is the result of experimentation. Put in another way, experimentation is the basis of choreography. Both choreography and experimentation are guided by the same impulses- the urge to explore the unknown in order to create something new- a change in form, structure and content. Change in this dance form has been happening for a long time......" Nirmala Seshadri
