About the tutor

As a site-specific choreographer, architect and Kathak dancer from India, Shinjita applies her knowledge of Indian dance and architecture to create performance that facilitates space-making and community engagement. Her work attempts to initiate conversations between movement and place, create more active and engaged public spaces, and develop a language for site-specificity in Indian arts for Indian heritage sites. She has graduated as an architect from School of Planning and Architecture, New Delhi (2012), and completed her MA in Performance Training from University of Plymouth, U.K. (2018). At VCA, Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, University of Melbourne, she recently completed her practice-led creative PhD that enquires how site-specific performance can help reactivate a sense of ‘space’ at abandoned heritage sites.
